GermanyThe location, the lake-view room, the decoration style.....
United States of AmericaI liked the vintagey decor, warm ambiance, super clean bedroom. It was a very quiet night when I stayed, which was great but I’d also like to see it when it’s the hive of activity it clearly becomes during events. Sorry I missed Airwaves there!
