Burghard was a really helpful host! He provided very detailed directions on how to arrive safely depending on the mode of transportation, met me right away upon my arrival, and lugged my very heavy suitcase down and up a number of steps to lighten my load. He pointed out a number of places at which to dine and recommended which sites I could visit with the remainder of my first day along with how I could spend the rest of my time.
The place was just as described and perfect for my purposes. It was quiet and comfortable, and the cool breeze through the open windows was simply wonderful for this desert native! It's a convenient location that's close to all the shops and restaurants but tucked away a bit to ensure privacy and serenity.
On the last day of my stay, Burghard kept my bags so I could enjoy the town a bit more before I needed to catch my train. When I stopped by to retrieve my luggage, he took the time to chat with me more about my interests and reasons for traveling. It was so lovely to engage in a bit of meaningful conversation before I continued on my solo travels.
