Beautiful bright and airy space. We stayed in February and the weather was unusually mild - some days we had to close the curtains to keep out the sun which was a shame as the view is impressive. The locale is wonderful: loads of lovely bars (including smoking bars), cafes, wine bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk. Relations with the youth hostel (which looked very fancy!) are excellent and the staff were very helpful re luggage and general advice. Communication was speedy at all times. Just a note: there is a huge fridge but no freezer compartment (for ice). This may be standard in Germany but we thought unusual. Otherwise everything was very fine indeed.
