The flat was in a good location. Walking distance to several attractions.

Overall location was ideal. Just a few blocks down from Grass Market. The location is on the fourth floor with 73 steep steps, but the owner forewarned us in advance. I managed to lock the keys in the apartment and receive a fast response from the owner. All in all a pleasant stay
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
The apartment was very clean and tidy. It offered enough space and everything was in a walking distance. There were many restaurants just around the corner and we could reach the old town in a few minutes by foot.Even though the apartment is located above a pub, we had no issues with noise at night.Overall, we had a lovely experience!

Just very noisy above a bar and you will have to walk up several flights of stairs with luggage.
