We enjoyed our stay. Location was perfect and great views of the city--close to Old Town, New Town, and airport tram. Clean and well-equipped. Be aware that it is up 4 flights of stairs with no lift, which was fine for us, but would have been hard with large suitcases. Laundry did not really work, and no detergent provided (instructions might have helped), and bed in 2nd bedroom would have been tight for 2 people, but luckly, there was an extra twin mattress under the bed that our son used, and we were fine. Overall, lovely apartment and we enjoyed our stay.
