This vrbo is very conveniently located and Martin, the owner, does a great job communicating with guests and gets back to messages very quickly. The unit is described accurately and we really appreciated the ability to drop off our bags before check-in. Overall, we really appreciated our time here!

A Great Option

I stayed here with my mother, and we were very comfortable. The apartment was cozy and clean, the location was wonderful —close to sites, but just tucked away enough to not be too loud at night, and getting checked in was easy. This is a good option for 3-4 friends/family members, or a couple and two kids.

Relaxing flat with great location

Spacious flat with relaxing sitting room and cheerful kitchen. Nice to have coffee and tea supplies with milk in the fridge. Door lock can be a little tricky but the building and neighbourhood are safe and quiet.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Jun, 2022
Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Good to hear that you enjoyed the spaciousness of the apartment. We will double check the keys for the lock; for the main door, the fob needs to be held near to the release button to be activated. Hope you had a good onward journey after your stay. Martin
