This place was fantastic.. They really did me a solid by giving me a room on higher floor overlooking the market. For a solo traveler or even 2 people that place is great and in a good central location. The person met me at the place when I arrived, showed me around and then left me alone. Perfect. As mentioned in previous reviews, the kitchen area is small and not the most modern but everything worked great and was perfect for my needs. Would definintely stay here again.

The apartment itself was spotlessly clean and the check-in was good. The area was handy for trams and you could walk around safely. A small supermarket across the road too. I chose this as the pictures showed a balcony with views over the city. My room had a view over next doors dirty office windows making it gloomy and an industrial extractor fan going 24/7 which made it impossible to open the windows or sleep properly. One night maybe ok but seven was just too much.
