We stayed 3 nights at this wonderful apartment in late July 2016.
The apartment is in the same building as the host family's home but is completely separate and independent from the hosts. It has its own entrance and garden patio for privacy. Free car parking is available on the street in front of the property, which is located in a modern housing development near a small village just outside Schnde. There is a good supermarket and bakery in the village (about 10 minute walk). Schnde (about 5 minute drive) has larger supermarkets, cash machines, cheap fuel stations and a good Chinese Restaurant among other dining options.
The apartment is spacious, modern, tastefully decorated and extremely well-equipped with high quality appliances as indicated in the property descriptions. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable.
Cordula, our host, has an excellent command of English as she has worked as a professional translator and lived for several years in the USA. She has thought of everything to assist independent English-speaking travellers including very well documented instructions for the appliances and local tourist information. She is also an excellent source of advice about local attractions and travel options.
We used the apartment as our base for accessing the Harz mountains and the beautiful towns of Goslar and Quedlinburg, each about an hour drive away, as well as Brunswick about 30 minutes drive. The apartment is also in a good location for travel to Hanover or Hamelin.
We highly recommend this property for a very comfortable, quiet and relaxed stay in the area with very helpful and unobtrusive hosts. It was the best self-catering apartment we had used in over four months of travelling throughout the UK and central and eastern Europe.
