We had a wonderful time staying at this apartment! The place is new, clean, and beautifully decorated with a modern yet cozy design. The location is fantastic—quiet and peaceful, yet within walking distance to the city center. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive, always quick to reply to any questions we had. We felt very well taken care of throughout our stay. Highly recommend this lovely apartment in such a central, charming neighborhood! Thank you for hosting us!
A lovely, modern apartment in a central and vibrant area. The space was cozy and stylish, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The wifi was fast, which was great for working, and the self check-in process was super easy.

Liked: Communication
Honestly, it was ok. Good communication prior to check in and check in process was clearly communicated (although it involves picking up keys from a corner shop which is around an 8 minute walk from the flat - not ideal if you have luggage). Amenities such as shampoo were provided, although no washing up liquid and there was only one loo roll which felt a little stingy! Flat was clean and spacious, location is excellent, handy for multiple tube stops and close to useful amenities like a supermarket. Beds were comfortable and shower had good water pressure. One downside is that only one set of keys were provided, which was inconvenient at times and I can imagine this being an issue for others since there potential for up to 4 people to stay here at once.
