Reviews

  • Garadzienski from Poland (8/10)

    Excellent location, terrace, close to bus stops

  • Paulina from Poland (6/10)

    The location is good, very nice terrace! We had a good communication with the owner 🙂 WiFi is working.

  • José from Portugal (7/10)

    The bed was comfortable. There is a couch that can be used as a bed. The place is very quiet. The house was clean.

  • Julia from Switzerland (6/10)

    The Apartment has a good size for a single person and to stay a couple of days, it was quiet, clean and had quite everything what you need.

  • Marija from Spain (7/10)

    This is not apartment, it is a loft, "bedroom" and "living room" and kitchen are a single space separated by wardrobe. The bedroom didn't have any window. The description of the property is misleading. Everything was clean and beds were comfortable, but it was smaller than 35 square meters as was indicated in the description (we took "apartment" for 4 persons)

  • Joanna from United Kingdom (7/10)

    quiet area. overall not too bad apartment

  • Fernando from Portugal (6/10)

    Boa localização.

  • Michela from Spain (6/10)

    Not so far from city center, around 15 minutes walk but the neighbourhood wasn’t the best

  • Tapas from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Beautiful location and landlord sent the entry code before our arrival.

  • Iryna from Ukraine (8/10)

    The room with all amenities. Terrace is very cute place for relaxing in the evening.
