This is a wonderful house with lots of space and a great location in Franz Joseph. It had a well equipped kitchen, lots of space in the living room, and three bedrooms. There is only one bathroom, but the other spaces make up for that. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Comfortable, within walking distance of shop and restaurants, and easy access. Rooms were comfortable and kitchen well stocked. With short hikes nearby and loads of destinations at a distance we had a great time even in the spring rain.

The host had left a nicely stocked pantey. Beds and linens were very nice. Bedroom number 3 was a bit if climb, 4th floor, most of us on upper floors left our luggage on the ground floor bedroom. One thing we missed wefeany kind of electrical outlets with a mirroe close enough to dry hair or put on .makeup, none of floors had that.

Fantastic location and plenty of space however lots of little things broken or in need of some love. Front door handle/lock screws falling out, toilet seat, shower drain to name a few. The floor didn’t feel like it had been mopped and branches needed a good wipe on arrival.

Great location, around the corner to everything. We had some issues connecting to the Wifi as what was on the site was not working. After struggling for a bit we called the host who was very abrupt and not overly helpful.The living/kitchen room area did not have a heater, but there was one in a closet in one of the bedrooms that we were able to move to that area to make it comfortable. Very large and roomy.
