Fantastic Accommodation Near Everything

clean apartment comfy beds perfect location

The apartment was very clean. It was spacious and the beds were really comfy. The location was just perfect for my short stay. I had no issues accessing restaurants, cafes, and the castle.

The heating was a little tricky to configure. Large rooms took a bit to warm up and the settings weren't quite right.

Dining

9/10

I observed lots of utensils available for cooking during my time there. The refrigerator size was large. It had plenty of space for beverages and food. Restaurants and pubs were just a short walk away.
