By car
Free parking is on the street, right outside the door. There are more spaces in the surrounding streets, and for day trips your own car is the easiest option.

Parking and access
Three things to know before you arrive.
Free street parking
There is a free parking space in front of the door: it is the one guests use. In the surrounding streets parking is free and easy to find.
Ground floor access
The entrance is at street level, but the doorway is narrow: the minimum width is about 60 cm. With a large trolley or bulky luggage, better to stop right outside the door.
Self check-in with the building staff
There is no reception: at check-in you meet the building staff, who let you in and walk you through the house. Check-out is by 11:00.
The city is closer than it looks
