Die Buchung konnte reibungslos durchgeführt werden. Kurze Antwortzeiten auf alle Fragen. Alles ausreichend erklärt. Alles wie beschrieben. Die Wohnung hat uns gut gefallen. Sehr ruhig gelegen am Wald aber nicht weit von Einkaufsmöglichkeiten wie z.B. Lidl entfernt. Diese kleine Burg verliert etwas ihren Charm, weil das direkte Umfeld, unterhalb der Burg nach Schrottplatz mit verlassenem Industriegebäude ausschaut. Ist halt sehr viel alte Industrie ansässig gewesen.Ausreichend Platz für 6 Personen inkl. Kindern. Empfehlenswert ist die Burg Altena. Parken kann man gut und günstig an der Lenne Promenade. Wer auf den alten Charm einer Burg, viel Wald, passender Einrichtung inkl. vielen Büchern und Ruhe steht ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Uns hat es gefallen. Preis-/Leistung hat auch gepasst.
