bellissimo e silenzioso appartamento in posizione strategica
Pros:

appartamento pulito e arredato con gusto. bagno di grandi dimensioni. posizione comodissima sia per la stazione che per visitare il centro. abbiamo apprezzato la possibilità di lasciare i bagagli sia prima che dopo il soggiorno.

Cons:

il servizio di colazione è molto comodo e inaspettato essendo un appartamento, ma migliorabile come qualità

Very nice for the price but comfort lacking
Pros:

Very clean, great little kitchenette, perfect location between railway station and old town. Included breakfast was VERY generous and delivered right into the room every morning!

Cons:

The double bed was only 140cm wide. This is barely enough for two adults. Also it was very hot in the room at night (even though it was mid-April), and we had to turn on the A/C.

Idealna lokalizacja.
Pros:

Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, wręcz idealna. Wszędzie jest blisko. Mieszkanie jest duże i przestronne. Przyjechaliśmy, gdy było dosyć zimno i dużym plusem było to, że działało dobre ogrzewanie, co nie zawsze się zdarza. Duży plus za balkon, natomiast nie ma na nim krzeseł ani żadnego miejsca do siedzenia.

Cons:

W mieszkaniu jest dość ciemno. W łazience znajduje się pralka, natomiast nie ma suszarki na ubrania. Jest suszarka w piwnicy, ale jest to mało komfortowe, żeby chodzić tam z praniem. Lepszym rozwiązaniem byłaby pralko-suszarka albo zwykła suszarka w mieszkaniu.
