8.4/10 Very Good! (486 reviews)

The staff must be the most courteous I have experienced in over 40 years of travel. Very good amenities and excellent value for money. The location is very good and is at the northern border of the main tourist zone. There are no 711’s or supermarkets in close proximity, the nearest being 10 to 15 minutes walk away. The subway is also 10 minutes walk away.

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at this apartment! From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The apartment itself is beautifully designed with modern equipment and high-end appliances that made my stay incredibly comfortable—everything from the smart TV to the fully equipped kitchen was top-notch and felt brand new. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the Old Town, which made exploring the city's historic charm so easy and enjoyable. Despite being so central, the apartment was peaceful and quiet, perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. A special thank you to the host, who was incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout my stay. They provided great local tips and made sure I had everything I needed. It really felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended—I’d love to come back!
