Amazing apartment , lots of space, very close to the train station and restaurants, the hosts are great and very quick to respond to any questions , thanks for a great stay
We feel like we hit the lottery with this rental. It was bigger than expected with a long row of big windows opening onto a square with the lake just beyond. It was such a treat to let the fresh air in and have a cup of coffee by the window. The apartment is in the 2nd floor so you feel removed enough from the bustle of the town. The kids took advantage of the toys provided and the kitchen had everything we needed. Plus the laundry helped us travel light. The town of Rapperswil is so charming. We highly recommend this rental!
The host was always very helpful and quick to respond to my messages. Had a little difficulty in finding the property but the host was available so it was not an issue.
