Only minus point is that the transport ends from station around 5:45...
We absolutely love the place, it was huge. The kitchen was very neat and stylish. The apartment itself may house up to 6 people so if you are looking for a place where your family can be together in an apartment, James’s place is the one.
Took me quite awhile to find Hirschenplatz Apartments. Apartment is perfectly furnished with clean/modern furnitures. Both bathrooms are very clean. Airy and spacious apartment! Had a perfect stay!
