8.6/10 Excellent! (325 reviews)
ThIs property was centrally located for walking all over old town. There was a bus station right outside the door which would have been handy but we enjoyed the weather and walked all over. The only suggestion I would make which is a tiny one...door stops would be handy. All the doors are big thick doors and they are on spring hinges so they close automatically. Thanks for a great stay!

The location is excellent. My only issue is there was no air conditioning. The flat was very warm and uncomfortable. No one in my family slept well as it was very hot, even at night.
