The apartment we finally rented was actually one of the first we found, but had put to the side as being perhaps a tiny bit more expensive than we wanted. It was not crazy or anything, but we thought we could shop around and find a deal. A couple of things became apparent;
1) in a place as tiny as Borkum, all places cost the same per square metre
2) During peak holiday season, almost everything is booked.
I think in the end we were lucky that the place we decided on was still available two days later when we were done comparison shopping.
As previously shared, here is the outside view of the house. it is a bigger house, with 6 holiday apartments, three downstairs and three upstairs, all with their own entrance. we had the upper floor one on the left.
The walkway was very nice with some flowery shrubs. who doesn't love a shrub?
Then a stair climb up the back brought us to the entrance to our place. A long set of stairs in back of the house.
Inside a short walk down the hall took us to the livingroom and dining/kitchen. The whole place was about 64 sqm, which was plenty large enough for our needs. We were happily surprised with how nice the place was. Spotlessly clean and decorated with lots of nautical theme. There was almost no surface without some sort of lighthouse, beach or sea motif on it. There was a flatscreen tv, stereo and DVD player as well for the inevitable rainy periods of the north.
Bedrooms were a good size, It looks a little cramped in this photo, but that is a product of my poor photography skills more than anything else. It was larger than our bedroom at home, but we do have a tiny one in our own house. At home we gave the big rooms to the kids
.The boys were room mates for the week, with Liam getting a huge bed for himself and Henrik having a baby bed down at the foot of Liam's. It was also comfortable and cozy.
