A nicely decorated apartment with a stunning view on the bay, located in walking distance to the wharf and the city centre.
Everything was super clean and the bed was comfortable.

Definitely would recommend this place. Great location, clean and rigjt across from the lake with full waterfront view.
Pros:

The room was very clean and comfortable, with a great waterfront location and full lake views right from the room. It’s also close to restaurants and bars, all within easy walking distance. Chris was an amazing host—he even helped us with our laundry and let us use the washer and dryer for free, which we really appreciated.
