Generally good place to stay even with the toddler
Pros:

Apartament is located in the center, near to the shops, restaurants and bus stops. Very comfortable bed and sofa, basic kitchen accessories.

Cons:

No cleaning during the stay (7 nights). Empty place for third cosmetics in the bathroom, probably for body lotion, that could be very nice.

Nagyon szép, jól felszerelt, tágas szálláshely, szuper helyen! Tökéletes hosszabb tartózkodásra is!
Pros:

Tágas, jól felszerelt, tiszta és kényelmes. Közel a parthoz és a főutcához is. Tökéletes ki és bejutás, kiváló kommunikáció.

Cons:

A parkolást 18 óra után nagyon nehéz megoldani, jó pár kör után találtunk csak helyet messzebb a szállástól.

Generally a good experience
Pros:

Apartment was a reasonable size, but has sloping ceilings so mind your head! Close to many attractions and restaurants. Clean and tidy throughout. Everything worked as it should. TV was a good size, and accepts SD drives if you want to bring your own movies.

Cons:

Apartment bears no resemblance to marketing images. It has a sloping ceiling which restricts the space and means you have to watch your head.There is no microwave. Nice bathroom which has excellent water pressure. Bed is extremely comfortable. We had a fire alarm late one night, ended up outside on the street, after 20 mins there were no identifiable staff or fire service in attendance - I had to message the company to find out if we could re-enter the building.
