This apartment was great! It was comfortable and very centrally located. We did not have a car so everything that we wanted to do and see was walkable from flat. Our host was incredibly kind and very communicative.

Pros: Property was in great location and had room to spread out. Other: There is NO castle view except from the street...windows overlook a courtyard. Although flat is technically on the second floor, there are about 40 stairs and the stairwell lights worked only one time at night...they must have been on a timer that wasn't set properly.
