Jurgen's place is close to the train station, but be aware there are alot of steps to navigate with your luggage. This, of course, is not fault of his, just the way the station is with no lifts ,etc. It is very easy to navigate the train/transportation system so his place is convenient,etc. Also, a grocery about 5 minutes away. The double windows in the bedroom keep out all the noise, but remember it can be quite hot in the summer (as it was when we were there) and there is typically no air conditioning in Europe, unless perhaps you are in a fancy hotel. His instructions regarding how to arrive at his place were excellent and he was even out front on the street waiting for us! We speak no German and his English is minimal but it worked.
