Все очень понравилось. Очень хорошее расположение.

Дружелюбный персонал.

Cons:

Единственный минус квартира высоко и нет лифта, если много вещей и больные ноги, то это тяжело.

There is so many positives and only one negative. People who manage it are so helpful and a pleasure to deal with.
Pros:

Its location is perfect for visiting the old town and the Jewish community, all within walking distance. It was clean and had all the items you need for your stay.

Cons:

If you can’t manage many stairs then this may not be for you. There’s no lift as it’s an old building. But don’t let this put you off if your ok with stairs

Prisvärt centralt boende
Pros:

Ok frukost som levererades punktligt utanför dörren.
Bra läge, nära till allt.
Fyra trappor utan hiss, helt okej för oss, men många trappor.

Cons:

väldigt smal spiraltrappa upp till ett loft, kunde varit tydligare i beskrivningen att det var ett loft man inte kunde stå upprätt i.

Ok for sleeping over
Pros:

Very close to the old city, fast responding customer service. Breakfast choices were nice, but they were cold omes left by the door.

Cons:

We did’t completelly enjoy our stay. Wi-fi was super slow, there was drilling happening from 8:00, very thin walls (could hear neighbors), previous dishes were left in dishwasher and the apartment wasn’t cleaned properly. It felt very small since there was no view outside of the window. Water also wasn’t as hot as expected.
