Pros:

Breakfast: Self-catering.

Cons:

We first received an incorrect door code. The correct door code was only sent to us when we were already on the way and we did not receive it. The password for WiFi was wrong. Rusty fittings and radiators in the bathroom.

Charming and cozy
Pros:

Old fashioned charm with all the modern amenities. Very clean. Great location.

Cons:

My only complaint, and I recognize this is very personal, is the bed. We are a couple in our 60 and it was easy to soft for us. Still it was an amazing stay.

Great location! Historic building
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The beds weren’t great. One in room 4 needs to be tightened because the squeaking was very loud.

Definitely regret booking here
Pros:

The location was good

Cons:

The room is very very small - there is nowhere to put bags and the bed is horrendous. There is a metal frame which was so squeaky/creaky you couldn’t even roll over in bed. It was also two mattresses stacked with a topper on top of that and it was on a lean with a saggy bit in the middle. I don’t know how this can be considered suitable for renting out

Great location, well stocked appartment
Pros:

We had app. 6. There is a bed, sofa, a table with two chairs and a well stocked kitchen in the room. Bathroom is big with window and has a closet for the luggages. Room is a bit small but was OK for us two. It is in the centre so you do not need to use the car during the stay. We liked the heritage value of the building and fixtures! There are coin washing machine and drier next to the app. 6. Starcase could be tricky with huge luggages.

Cons:
