Check the dates“Parking was easy to find and self check-in couldn’t have been simpler. The apartment was clean and tidy, with everything ready for us. The free EV charger was a big bonus, and the host was kind — he answered all our questions and even recommended a great place to eat. We didn’t get to try the sauna this time, but that’s a good reason to come back.”
