"The room was spacious with a small terrace where you could take your breakfast (due to heavy rain we didnt use it). We upgraded to a bigger flat, but we could have been told that it was a floor down, that is cellarfloor - just for info. The kitchen was well equipped, the shower really nice and it was great that you could stream your own app at the TV. We will definetly stay at Bobs again! Oh, and the location i Lubeck was perfect!"
