• Gabriel from United States (9/10)

  We loved this stay, really close to the places we want to go, close to the train and tram stations, but in a quiet street. The place is renovated, beautiful and sparkling clean bathrooms, comfy beds (for European standards), and working AC are a blessing in the summer. I which we could have stayed longer. Communication with the host and the keeper was excellent, they were very responsive.
