Summary: The best thing about the property is the location in the heart of old town. We appreciated the convenience of being able to pop by the apartment during the day. There was some noise at night due to the central location, but not enough to bother our sleep at night.The living areas are spaciousness and have beautiful views from the many windows. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals with everything you need. The photos of the property accurately reflect the property.It was very handy to have a washing machine in the property as we stayed for 10 days. The bathroom was clean and bright and worked well for two people to share.The reason for only 4 stars is the uncomfortable beds and pillows and threadbare towels. Also, the apartment was clean, but not spotless upon arrival.
