A very pleasant host at check-in. Room contains microwave, decent size fridge and cutlery etc. Heater worked well - important in July! Well located - short walk to centre of town or the lake. Slightly longer walk to the train station - but do-able. Very close to a decent grocery store. Bathroom renovated and everything worked well.
