Not the greatest experience
The apartment itself was pretty much a advertised, clean, nice patio. It had all the necessities in the kitchen.
Checking in was a bit of a chore, finding first the locked access to the lock box, but not too bad. The apartment is up 4 flights of stairs, not easy with luggage. Our real complaint was the freezing nighttime temperatures were just coming and the heating was marginal at best. There were space heaters in the living room and bedroom, but one was broken. One had to lug the functioning one back and forth. When the hosts were apprised of the situation they were totally unresponsive.

Great Location
The flat was perfect for us. Great location and walk to everything including shops, pubs, cafes and history. As the listing mentions there are 42 steps to climb. Not a problem if young (er) and with a light case. The lockbox was obscured by overgrown shrubs and we spent ages walking around trying to find it. Needs a good trimming as would be impossible to the box locate in the dark. We did not receive the check-in details from VRBO in the time stated and had to contact the owner to provide them. Response times were not great. Flat was very clean, outdoor area is fabulous for evening drinks but needs a refresh as plants in pot are dead and handrail has wood rot. The bed was very comfortable but as with most brass beds it creaked a lot. The outdoor area adjoins a neighbouring property divided by a low fence. It wasn’t great when the neighbours sat outside smoking. Overall though, it is central and value for money. VRBO/Stayz need to improve their systems and communication.

Lovely little flat
This flat is small but had everything we needed. Good little kitchen and a comfortable bed. Didn't try the pullout bed. Things might be a bit tight for 4 people.
Location is excellent with shops and sights all nearby.
We are a couple of octogenarians so arriving with suitcases we were a bit shocked to find three flights of stairs to cart our stuff up to the flat. This wouldn't be an issue for younger folks. What might be for some was poor tv reception with lots of pixelation on some channels. Still, a nice flat.
