    There were a small amount of ants inside the apartment. This is not really a negative but the aircon made loud noises every few minutes even when it was off - however, we found a button behind the aircon that turned it off completely and stopped these noises. This is sign-posted behind the bed but not stated elsewhere so we only found out about this after a few nights.

    Great location, great amenities and very comfortable.

    The bathroom doors were sliding and did not close properly to give complete privacy from the bedroom. Not a big issue but some would not like this if travelling with others.

    The location was absolutely perfect, right in the centre and close to everything you need. The decor and amenities were amazing and every detail was thought of. A clever use of space for a studio apartment and unlike others I have stayed in, this was spacious and felt like the bedroom was separate to the living area.

    The apartment had a tiny patio surrounded by high walls. This was what we were looking at. While owner made effort to make it attractive by decoration on the wall we found it claustrophobic. In order to see the sky we had to look straight up. All the air conditioning umits for 5 apartment were on one wall. The bathroom window of another apartment was on the forth wall with the accompanying sound effects. For some people all of the above may.not be a problem. For us it focused us on spending time away.ii usually like to relax and look at life but as the sun rarely pentrated into this tiny patio it was disappointing. The only view was the wall with decorative plates.

    The apartment was well situated. Near restaurants tourist attractions taxi bus and train stations. It was clean. Towels replaced without asking. Facilities in the apartment were good with one exception explained in next section. While I liked the location I would not return to the apartment no 3. The stairs and corridors were in excellent condition.

    The stairs were quite steep and very hard for seniors to carry heavy suitcases up to the apartment. Ground floor room would have been ideal. Also yapping dogs during the day and night were a problem for us.

    It was very modern and beautifully appointed. Close to lots of restaurants and grocery stores.

    This is no fault of the establishment but for our last night we had some new people below us, they were extremely inconsiderate. Clearly didn't read the booklet left where it says about keeping the noise down. They arrived back at around 11pm, banging doors, talking and laughing very loud, with their windows open. This continued for 2 hrs. Please be mindful if you stay here, that the building is old and doesn't have soundproofing like modern hotels and that noise travels. Just be mindful of your neighbours. We did not hear anything of the people who were in the room before them, so this isn't a problem with the apartments but the clientele. Other than that we had an absolutely delightful stay.

    Lovely clean and comfy apartment. Had everything you could need. Very central. Local little supermarket nearby. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby too.

    Some noisy dogs live in the area and woke our baby up multiple times so that was unfortunate but it’s not the property’s fault. It just comes with staying in the location.

    Everything was very clean and they made amazing use of the space to make sure we had everything we needed. The location is great!

    Due to the great location, parking your rental car is problematic. Search 300 meters northwest and you‘ll find cost feee spaces
