Other things to note
Check-in and check-out times are unfortunately not flexible.
The building does not have a storage room for luggage (please ask me about the off-site alternative, which may work for some).
Check-in from 14h00 (after hours arrival is no problem!) and check-out by 10h00.
Self-checkin procedure: keys collected and dropped off at lock box approximately 5 minutes' drive from the apartment (unfortunately we are not permitted lock boxes on site, as the key set gives access to communal gates).
If the self-checkin procedure is difficult under your circumstances, please enquire so I can check whether it's possible to make an alternative arrangement on the day.
Please park on reserved parking bay number 4 only.
The apartment has one bedroom - a child can be accommodated on a single bed size mattress in the living area.
