Pros:

This property is on a steep road - we liked it a lot. The view in the room was phenomenal, with the city right under your eye. The owner was very kind; she helped us with our last-minute arrival with no issues. The room was clean, although the furniture was a bit aged. The bathroom was modern and was a highlight. The property is about a 5-minute drive from the city centre and directly opposite the city park. Highly recommended!

Pros:

Excellent facilities. Spacious. Modern.

Cons:

Located 2/3 of the way up a very long, steep incline. Limited parking available that was on an even level. Although close to city centre, very difficult to walk anywhere for people with a mild disability.
