INCREDIBLE spot in Brienz - this far exceeded our expectations! Host was communicative, responsive and quick to assist. The outdoor living space (which isn't pictured) is actually a quite nice little patio where you do in fact have a small view of Lake Brienz. We loved sitting out at night and watching the sun set over the water. Washer/dryer combo was amazing, and yes, the power goes off to them for noise regulation after 8PM, but as long as you start your cycle before 8PM, it will complete it. I was worried that it would cut off, but it completed it, which is helpful when you've been out all day hiking. Coop is a 2-minute walk, and train station 3-4 minutes. There is no AC but host provided us with fan upon request, so it was comfortable. This place is perfect for a family of 4. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
