The apartment is great, perfect views, great location for what we needed. Multiple cafes and restaurants walking distance and good, grocery stores walking distance. Outside is the tram thats takes you to the city and/or close to train station. At night the roads are loud and hectic but other than that. Definitely would book again.

Your review made our day, Steven! I'm so glad the apartment and its location worked well for your needs, and that you enjoyed the nearby cafes, restaurants, and easy access to transport. I appreciate you mentioning the noise at night — it's helpful feedback, and I’m glad it didn’t impact your stay too much. We’d be happy to have you back anytime! Cheers, The AirKeeper Team
