"When I arrived in Nuremberg I realized the original accommodation I booked had the wrong dates, and could not be changed. So I had to find another place for 3 nights. The ad for StayFab was good, pictures showed it was well taken care of. I walked from train station via Google maps (was close) and found property easily. The single room clean and comfortable as described. Though the bathrooms were out in corridor never had an issue waiting to use. The bathrooms were super clean and well...
