Nice and clean and very central. Apartment with elevator which was nice. Check in across the road which wasn’t clear but I saw this in a prior review so I had a heads up. It’s very close by so not a big issue. Apartment is spacious and clean and was a very good rate. Everything is walkable and very central to old town and across the bridge to Gaia area. The shower was terrible - very difficult to get right temp and flow. The shower head was more like a shower mixer and not a shower rose. The pressure was so strong that when we ditched on the water the mixer flew off the stand and sprayed everywhere. There was also a piece of metal on the bathroom floor, just behind the door. Probably from a door stopper that broke off. Very dangerous if not seen and can inflict some serious injury. Staff were friendly and check in smooth. I booked it due to the “exceptional” ratings. It’s a nice option at a good rate and I’d rate it as “very good”.

First the positive: location, location, location. You're in the heart of it. But it also means lots of traffic, cars honking late into the night, as in past midnight. Great for a younger crowd, not ideal for a family with young kids or seniors. The room was a bit dated, bathroom ok but there's really no counter space to put your stuff down. Also if you stay in the apartment be aware that you don't get a key, rather a key code to punch in. Can be tricky late at night, since you have to be mindful of your surroundings as you're basically standing on the street when trying to enter. Hotel staff was great.

Location of the property was excellent & the room was nicely presented, however, it was let down by lack of maintenance. The studio itself wasn’t cleaned properly, the kitchen area was covered in dust and there were stains around the bed. The bathroom, whilst nicely presented, smelt of damp & the shower was a nightmare to use. To get a constant temperature, you had to have it on a an extremely powerful pressure which wasn’t comfortable to use, any less and the shower would constantly go from scolding to freezing. I liked the apartment and building, it’s just a shame it was let down by the maintenance.
