the location was indeed a treasure , right in the heart of everything. the apartment was beautifully designed , a real treat for the eyes. i especially enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen , it had everything i needed.
the street outside was quite lively , and sometimes the noise did travel into the room. the tv signal wasn't always the best , it made watching movies a bit difficult. i also noticed the shower head was a little low , it wasn't ideal for taller guests.

the room was beautifully presented and very clean! i especially appreciated the mini fridge and netflix access. a small terrace offered a great spot for an evening drink, and the information folder with local tips was super helpful. the host even provided books and board games!
the tv signal was a bit weak, and pixelated sometimes, made streaming less enjoyable.
