“The apartment sits in a great spot, just a short stroll from the castle and the city centre, which made it a perfect hub for sightseeing. It was clean, tidy, and had everything we needed. The host was friendly and quick to help. Despite being so central, the setting was peaceful and a nice break from the busy streets.”
