Amazing location! Clean and lovely apartment.
Pros:

Amazing location, you can walk to all the main attractions from there and you have lots of great restaurants and other shops really close by. The apartment was cute and well set up. We had 6 people in the apartment so we used sofa lounge as well and although it was a bit squishy it was workable and what we expected. Reception was lovely and always helpful. Rooms were offered to be cleaned daily too which was helpful.

Cons:

Kitchen area is very small but workable. Happy with everything else, all as expected and advertised.

Tutto bene
Pros:

Strutturata pulita. Appartamento grande con cucina, letto e bagno.
Il mio era sotto il livello della strada ma non è stato qualcosa di negativo.
Bagno piccolo, cieco, ma funzionale.
Posizioni ottima a 1 km dalla città vecchia e a pochi passi dalla fermata del collegamento con l’aeroporto.
Personale gentile e affabile

Cons:

Poche prese elettriche
Quando sono entrata il riscaldamento era completamente spento..in qualche ora la temperatura è diventata gradevole
