The apartment was perfect having two bedrooms and the views were incredible. I would add though, a previous guest had obviously used the cooker, leaving a fatty, greasy tray that wasn't cleaned. It put us off cooking. The apartment access should be made clearer (as in, key opens back entrance and its flat number 30) and that the hallways smelt of smoke and weed (not the apartments fault though,)
