Very clean and enjoyable accommodation. Close to the city centre. We did not have a car but easy to get a bus using the CityMapper app. We had a great weekend stay.

Absolutely lovely flat, perfect for a family trip. Location was great, out of city center but on all bus routes, 12 mins to downtown Old town. So many perks we did not even make use of them. Would highly recommend!

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Loved the location - lots of good restaurants and cute little shops all around. Easy to get into the old town by bus. We did book this place as it was advertised as having 2 king beds - they were both fulls. I ended up sleeping on the couch as there wasn’t as much room as we’d planned on. One bedroom (the lighter colored one) does not have a window that opens or any airflow. We had to keep the door opened at night to avoid it getting stuffy and muggy in the bedroom. The bathroom window also does not open. Not ideal. There were a lot of weird items in the flat - drawers full of collections of trimmed off electrical plugs, junk mail and other oddities. The owner goes through a property management company named Houst. Commucation through them was odd, and sometimes conflicted what we’d be told through the app (check out time, WiFi password, etc) Overall it was a decent place to stay, but we booked it specifically because it was listed as having king size beds (a rarity) and it did not.
