We had a wonderful stay! The apartment is very central, comfortable and cosy, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The cleanliness was absolutely perfect, and the rooftop spa was an extra highlight — such a lovely bonus! There’s also a shop right in front of the apartment, which was especially convenient on rainy days. Everything is within walking distance, making the location ideal.We really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back!
