It could be a little cleaner in the bathroom, missing hooks, the walls are made of "paper", you think there are strangers sitting in the living room, goes out looking confused and finds that they are sitting next door.

Nice apartment although it was directly to the street and on Thursday evening it was unbelievable loud because of the pub nearby.

Parking4 of 1371 in 34 reviews
We only needed it for one night thankfully as it’s very awkward and small spaces.
Booking network, September 2025, rated 10/10 by this guest
There were only a small number of parking spots, but we found a vacant one and we then checked in and paid for our stay up front, the staff being fully aware that we were staying for 2 nights and were parked in the car park for the duration.
