Hestia Apartments Barons

Very nice, clean, well furnished, great location, good sized

Nothing

Prime location, no outside noise, clean

The apartment was very stylish and clean looking. The sofa bed was a good size for a single person. The location was good on the edge of the Old Town so easy to get around.

It was noisy in the Old Town at night which you could hear from the apartment so take ear plugs! There were 2 windows and only 1 thin blind meaning you were woken with the sunrise which would be less of a problem visiting in winter. There were smelly drains so every time you entered the apartment there was a bad smell (we bought scented candles to counter this). The black spiral staircase from the bedroom is quite dangerous if you needed the bathroom in the night, it could do with some low level lighting to avoid tripping / mis-steps. The TV was badly placed against a wall which wasn't viewable from the sofa and sitting elsewhere there was a large wooden beam running from ground to ceiling obscuring the view.

Location and comfortable and high spec interior.

Downstairs at street level are two bars (Route 33) that stay open to at least 3am. They are very noisy even though double glazing. The music and people shouting come in/out of the bars. We did not sleep at all.
