Communication with Alex was effiencient and quick. The accommodation is well equiped and in a lovely location which is very quiet and yet still central enough to be able to get to town in ~20mins incl. walk to the train station. The "chateau" across the road has a fantastic atmosphere if you're ever looking for a bite to eat.
I've seen a lot of reviews mentioning the shops at the station - which is obviously convenient if you're coming from the station and are walking home. We discovered that if you walk up the hill next to the house there is a Tengelman at the top. Arugably much closer and at least twice as large as any of the shops at the station. ;)
