I’m a Midwestern from the USA. When we see graffiti, sometimes we have a negative image. Not so in Germany where much of it is art. When arriving and seeing graffiti my husband was leery. The University, hospital and train station were all near by. Businesses occupy the 1st two floors, very quiet ones- when you first open the door, you feel that you have arrived somewhere special. The ceilings are enormous, they seemed to be 20 feet but I’m not sure, the crown molding was exquisite! The rooms were all large and airy with whimsical art. Everything you need was provided for including clear directions of all appliances. The toilet and bath/shower are separate which is good because there is only one of each. The views from the windows excite the traveler in me to want to explore. There are many restaurants, cafes, groceries and convenient stores close by! We felt safe, well cared for and we are very thankful for the hospitality that was shared with us. Our family reunion- 3 adult children, 2 (60’s) parents and Grandmother (85+) had a remarkable vacation!
