"I really recommend this. I enjoyed the contrast between faded bourgeois splendour on the outside, with freshness and comfort inside the flat. Comfortable bed with crisp white sheets. Friendly, helpful young couple. Plus it's very central.
Not, alas, for people with mobility problems, as there are four flights of stairs up and no lift. But that's how authentic it is. What must be the original ( 188-?) mail boxes are still in the downstairs hall.
Incidentally I came from London by train. If you have the time and want to be environmentally friendly and see the countries you go through, you can do this by booking with Deutsche Bahn via Berlin. The whole trip takes about 24 hours and costs £246 return if you book in advance - which includes 2 nights B and B on the sleeper." | Virginia Luling United Kingdom Jul.21.2006 Overall rating 4/5 |
