Spacious and user-friendly rooms
The units are clean and well-maintained, with the fixtures and features in good working order. Many of the apartments can easily host a large family with kids. The kitchen can be used to make meals and the rooftop terrace extends the social areas for guests.
positive:
Wonderful location
It's an easy walk to the main square with lots of shopping and restaurants. It's also near the train station. The views from the terrace are gorgeous and many rooms look over a quiet and lovely courtyard. Being a block or so away from the main hub of town also allows for a quieter stay.
positive:
Hosts are so welcoming
The hosts are multi-lingual and are eager to please with helpful tips and recommendations in the area. They seek to make the stay as pleasant as possible and are prompt and efficient with business matters.
Negative Reviews
negative:
No air conditioning
The rooms and apartments don't have air conditioning. During the hotter months, the space inside can be uncomfortable and sticky, especially at night. The only relief is borrowed fans from reception. Having windows open is a problem because of a nearby restaurant that has late hours and loud patrons.
negative:
Slow or absent
Some features are missing that would make for a nicer stay. There isn't a lift and many rooms and apartments are located three floors up. There also isn't dedicated parking, so you'll have to find your own spot. Wi-Fi is available, but is terribly slow.
negative:
Bed and bath
There are no real "double" beds. Instead, there are just single beds pushed together. The bathrooms in the standard rooms also tend to be smaller and more cramped.
