Very good vacation apartment

The house offers a nice ambiance where one can feel comfortable for several days. Both kitchen and cooking utensils are sufficiently available. The communication was very professional and friendly. Only the missing Wi-Fi is a downside.

Otherwise, I can only recommend the house, whether for friends or family.

Apartment Nele

Super holiday apartment where one feels comfortable, with a great view from the balcony.

Great holiday apartment
Lovingly and cozily furnished, with everything needed for a relaxing vacation. There are also various games for children. The Heisser Brocken spa is opposite the holiday apartment, as well as the bus stop and a bakery. A grocery store is within walking distance, about a 10-minute walk, as well as various restaurants in the village. Very uncomplicated rental, landlord very nice and helpful. Definitely a clear recommendation.
