Matthias and Elena we’re great hosts. Their communication was excellent and it was really lovely meeting them and chatting over breakfast at their table.
The apartment was very clean, comfortable and relaxing. You’d need a car or bikes as it’s up a hill away from the town centre. There was some noise from upstairs from the family moving around as essentially you’re in a downstairs annex but it wasn’t a problem unless you’re very sensitive to noise!!
Matthias and Elena also rent an electric bike company in town which we didn’t have time to do but wish we had! Thames itself is quiet and quirky, more of a base than an to do town. A lot of the restaurants and cafes close early so you’d need to bring food if you arrived late-ish.
