Joanne from United Kingdom (8/10)
The apartments are well situated right near the market. Host met us on arrival, room was ready earlier than stated check in time which was great. Host provided bus details on the surrounding area and a map which was useful. Room was as expected and additional beds set up and ready for us. Kitchen had all the required facilities.

Federica from Italy (7/10)
The apartments are really well located, close to the train station and the city center. Despite facing a busy road, the rooms are very well isolated and not noisy at all if windows are closed. Clean and spacious apartments with all appliances.
