This was a great little flat in a perfect, central location. It had real character and was well equipped with a comfy bed and amazing spacious bathroom. We didn't realize until we left where the freezer was located, but we didn't need it anyway! There is a little noise from the neighbours but that is only to be expected in an old building. We enjoyed our stay and the little outdoor space out front.
