Ideally located and great layout. Thank you

Ideal location. Need hooks and shelving in bathrooms and bedrooms. There was no place to hang towels in bathrooms. A luggage rack would be nice. Instructions posted on how to use towel heater would be helpful. Would probably stay here again because of location.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
Great location, great space, beautifully set up, and it's even set back in a courtyard so you don't hear the noise from the street. Only one problem: the beds are rock hard. If you like a VERY firm bed, it would be perfect for you.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
Flat was exactly as shown in the pictures. Was in a perfect location at the base of Victoria Street in Old Town. Host was helpful and quick to respond to any of our questions, even allowing us an early check in to drop off our bags. Washing machine was a huge bonus! Had all the amenities of home and lots of space for 4 adults to spread out. Walkable to all of the major tourist attractions.
