zentral und schön
Die Wohnung hat uns sehr gefallen. Es befindet sich am ersten Stock von einem Haus. Erdgeschoß ist unbewohnt. Es gibt zwei Schlafzimmer, zwei Bäder, gemütlichen Wohnraum, Küche und eine Terasse von der man einen schönen Blick auf die Stadt und Dorfplatz hat. Es gibt viele Cafes, Bäckereien und Restaurants in der Nähe. Die Wohnung ist in unmittelbarer Nähe vom Hafen und Strandpromenade. 10 min zum Wallfangmuseum (empfehlenswert). Gerne wieder.
