"Leider haben wir (erst auf Nachfrage per Whatsapp ) eine halbe Stunde vor Check-In die Info bekommen, dass das Appartement nicht verfügbar ist. Das Appartement wird hier angeboten, allerdings wusste die Besitzerin überhaupt nicht bescheid, weil sie sich mit der Buchungs-Technik nicht auskennt und die Hausverwaltung (die sie beauftragt hat, weil sie weggezogen ist) anscheinend nicht vernünftig arbeitet. Zumindest gab es das Geld sofort zurück! "
