It is a beautiful apartment in the middle of the girls' quarter (Seitenstrasse). Restaurants, supermarkets, etc. are a few minutes' walk away. It doesn't get any more central than this.

I live here most of the time myself and love my home. All things are of very high quality and should be treated well.
