Guest reviews
Good
Superb
Great place for a group of people where not everything needs to be _perfect_
Liked: Amazing place for a group; the rooms are spacious and having two floors distributes the noise a bit. Also, there are two bathrooms w/ a shower, as such even with 7 people there wasn't a lot of waiting in the morning. The host does not speak a lot of English, but with some back-and-forth we made everything work.
Disliked: There is only one bedroom with AC (out of the 6 bedrooms), and there were many ants in the apartment. While clean, the cleanliness level of the place is not up to hotel standards. Also, beware that both bathrooms are downstairs, while most rooms are upstairs, which is a bit impractical if you expect night-time loo visits.
Not recommended
Disliked: The pictures of the apartment when booking were misleading - we were put in place next to the building shown in the pictures. It was musty and smelly – you could feel the fungus, which covered some apartment surfaces. The fridge was unplugged. Overall, an unpleasant place, especially given the price (134 euro for one night). The surroundings of the apartment are nothing but nice.

Convenient for a night
Liked: It was big enough for our group.
Disliked: Some beds were uncomfortable. Top level was really hot. It is old and tired.
