The experience of booking with Franz was excellent. He responded to our request very quickly. He was clear about house rules and expectations, and he was friendly and helpful.

We liked the private entrance to the room, so we could come and go without disturbing anyone. We really enjoyed the neighborhood. Almost anything we needed was within walking distance. We appreciated the option of how much to be in contact with our host. Franz respected our privacy scrupulously. We would have been happy to meet and chat, but we never even ran into him as we came and went. Franz also provides some minimal kitchen stuff and pretty detailed local info.

What didn't work so well for us was the almost constant traffic noise out front and the motion-detector light outside the window by the bed. We should have asked for it to be adjusted, but didn't think of it except when it was coming on in the night. We were also looking for a bit of a romantic getaway, but this place would be better if you are going to be out having an active day and just need a great place to crash. It's kind of small and rustic. The shared wall (with their kitchen) seemed a bit thin at times, as well. Parking was hit or miss as well. We parked right out front when we arrived, but when we came back late from dinner another night, we had to park a block away. Later I found the instructions to park in back, so read the whole booklet he provides or ask before you get there if you will arrive after 4pm or so. My sense is that Franz is happy to help if you just ask.
