The apartment was in the best location with a fabulous view. It was clean and tidy and easy to be there. It was also quiet which was great. However, it was on the third floor with 61 steps and no lift so lugging suitcases is not ideal. The stairs to the apartment were also dirty and smelt.

6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
Overall the unit itself is comfortable. However please note it is up 3 flights of narrow winding stairs. The apt is on the top floor and yes has a pretty view of the castle, especially at nite. However as you enter through the door from the street the hallway reeks of urine, and stairways often have trash and cigarette butts littered. We passed through this several times a day and it really became unpleasant. I did contact the management and they were apologetic and stated they only have control of their apt, which I understand. I sent them pictures as they requested. After going up and down throughout the week, I would never book here again. The stay was not worth the filth we encountered. Perhaps if the lock on the front door to the complex was not broken it would have been a more secure building, keeping out passersbyers who used the long hallway as a toilet! It appears it has been left open for a long time.
