Positive: I stayed two nights at Young Backpackers Homestay and totally loved it! I got helpful info and tips about visiting Lucerne even before I arrived. The view from the house and the common area is just great <3. The bed was also very comfortable. Thanks to the staff and other travelers, I had such a fun night out. You’ll want to stay longer or come back. :)) Merci/Dziękuję/Gracias/Cheers !!!
