Clean homely apartment

The apartment was spotlessly clean with a homely feel. Very quiet peaceful neighbourhood, nice to have the use of a washing machine and dryer as we had been traveling for 2 weeks before arriving here. The bed was also very comfortable. The only improvements I would suggest are a bigger fridge, as we struggled to get everything in. It was very small. Also a consideration could be to slightly rearange the bedroom so that you can get into bed from both sides. As a couple in our 60's it's not easy to climb over the other person in the night without disturbing them to use the bathroom. Just our thoughts.
