Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Reserve the free private parking space in the basement garage well in advance, as it is limited and requires a reservation.

  • 02

    Request a confirmation of the apartment's floor level at booking, as ground-floor garden units are not guaranteed.

  • 03

    Prepare for a self-catered stay by bringing basic supplies like dishwasher tablets and extra coffee, as the kitchen is minimally equipped.
