Det tog en time at checke ind, restauranten var ikke eksisterende, ladeboks i kælderen var med forkerte numre, så det var et større puslespil at få bilen opladt.

Stay KooooK Leipzig City – Online Check In
The location is so very central, so close to all the museums, shopping and restaurants. Realistic to explore by foot or with public transport. The kitchen is fabulous and well stocked. The bed was comfortable with fluffy pillows. Wonderful experience.

The only comment I would like to make is that there was only ONE TV program that was in English, all the rest being in German.
