  • Krzysztof from Poland (9/10)

    Room was very clean and bed was very comfortable

  • Urte from Ireland (7/10)

    Overall a lovely apartment, 15-20 minute walk away from city centre. The apartment is nicely decorated and clean, has a large shower with good water pressure. Really appreciated a hair dryer being provided. Everything worked well and there was lots of space for clothes. Although the apartment is right on the street, to enter it you have unlock two doors which makes you feel safe. The check in and check out are really easy as there is a lockbox to collect and drop off the key.
