We had a great stay at this location. Perfectly located, and communication with host was top notch. The hot tub certainly was a perk and we enjoyed our flat also for nice dinners at home
Cozy and convenient. Easy parking. Perfect location for walking to shops, restaurants, and coffee shops.

Dear Danielle,
Thank you for your great feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the quiet location and its convenient walking distance to so many attractions. We hope to welcome you again soon!
Warm Regards,
Nikol, Customer Care Team
The location was perfect, a short walk to all the downtown sites, the seaside, and many good restaurants. It's quiet at night, despite being on a main street. The manager was extremely responsive, the place was clean, and the washer and dryer were great to have after two weeks on the ring road. There's a giant bathtub but no actual shower, just a handheld sprayer, and the door to the toilet room is clear glass. It's a quirky little place, but we had fun here.

Location was perfect for city walks and we appreciated the amenities after a our weeks of hiking, especially the washer and dryer and a nice big bath tub. Best part was the responsiveness of our host. They responded immediately and addressed our queries.

As the unit is right on the street, we thought the apartment might be a bit noisy but it was fine. Walking distance to restaurants, main street, waterfront, museums and, most important, chocolate shop.
The team was fantastic throughout. Very accommodating and quick to reply. Highly recommend this place.
