We loved the decor of Gerda's place - everything looked so stylish. We really enjoyed the neighbourhood too - lots of places to eat, supermarkets and public transport within walking distance. We had ongoing issues with the bedroom with the ensuite. The heating did not work and the room was unbelievably cold. The toilet did not flush properly and took several flushes to work [and even then it didn't always work]. We contacted Gerda who responded in a timely manner and even sent someone around to look at both these issues but unfortunately they remained unresolved for the duration of our stay. There was a back-up portable heater for the room but ironically it made the room uncomfortably hot, instead of comfortable like central heating.
The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, including an enormous fridge and plenty of pots and pans, and Gerda sent someone around with pepper when we were unable to find any. We loved having breakfast in the conservatory each morning.
