8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2025
The apartment was very clean and located at an excellent location (bedroom views on the castle!). Walking into the old town is easy, and lots of nice shops and places to eat and drink nearby. It's a top floor walk up, so not ideal if you're traveling with small children (or a buggy!) and a bit small for 5 people.
8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2024
Lock box was faulty, phoned for assistance, condescend to by assistant who said we were not operating correctly. To late for person to assist in person,after some time on phone she eventually admitted and told us we had to hold catch down with a pen or coin and hey presto it opened.
Shame we did get provided with this information in the beginning in stead of standing out side in the freezing cold.
The flat is 60 steps up this should have been at top of the booking information not suitable for older people. Dont be put off by the dirty stairs,the flat was clean,the heating worked as did the shower, clean bedding and towels ,nice welcome box. Great location. All would have been better with realistic explanation regarding stairs and lock box.

Will definitely stay here again! Perfect location and cozy accommodation in a quiet area near old town.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
Good location. Confusing door instructions. Stairwell needs to be cleaned. You should tell potential clients that it is 60 stairs to the top, tough with all the luggage.
