On arrival this apartment looked absolutely amazing! It was in such a super location and had amazing views out over the lake. It really was stunning and looked just as in the photos. It was spacious and had a great open feel. There is also a fantastic little bakery right across the road which sells fresh pastries.
Outside the apartment there is a very strong smell of dog but this vanishes when you enter the apartment and it didn't bother us during our stay; we also very rarely heard the dogs.
Although the owners have tried to incorporate the latest gadgets within the house, we found many features confusing and lacked the basics. We really struggled with the lights. They were often quite dim and would randomly go off of their own accord. In the top room many of the lights didn't actually work meaning our friends were having to shower/get dressed using their iPhone lights! I feel a guide needs to be given to cover the basics of using the lights as this was a bit of a pain during our stay.
Along with this, we had no idea how to use the fireplace and were far to scared to start playing around to it left untouched during our visit even though we would have loved to have cozied up in front of it! Again, a little note of guidance would have been great.
Finally, we had NO WIFI for the duration of our stay. When first attempting to use it we were able to input the password and it appeared to connect however it never fully connected. When I contacted Marc he was responsive to begin with and asked us to re-set it. After responding to say we had done so numerous times, his last message was that he has contacted to company who said everything was fine and to make sure we were resetting the correct box. After this we had no further contact for the duration of our stay and the problem was never resolved. If you spend most of your stay out this would not really bother you however we stayed in most nights and it was very frustrating not being able to use the internet.
Overall, the apartment has a FANTASTIC location and stunning views and if you really only use the apartment to get changed and sleep, it would be perfect. However, if you plan to stay in a bit and spend time cooking it lacks some of the basics. I feel like a more thorough welcome pack should be left to explain how to work some of the amazing gadgets in the house.
