The house was as expected and very near to the castle. The nearby shop was useful - and open till late. All of Jan's suggestions were useful - especially about the free parking, as otherwise we would have to pay a bomb for parking! The pantry was well stocked with essentials and Jan was kind enough to give us a lovely parting gift too!
One point to note - the house is near the tram line, which can be an advantage, but can also be a bit noisy at times!
