The location is five stars The inability to get check in codes before the exact check in time was inconvenient The apartment was nicely appointed, could do with a kettle as one of the hot plates didn’t work. The three flights of stairs was not fun with heavy luggage, which I unfortunately missed in the rental listing details I did find early check in at 10€ per hour a bit rich, that said our apartment wasn’t ready until 3pm anyway A nice stay but not a fabulous one
