Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited natural light in some bedrooms — One guest noted a lack of windows in the bedroom, which may be common in historic Old Town buildings.
  • No on-site parking — Parking is available nearby but not at the property, and it comes at an extra cost. The host can help with arrangements.
  • Compact interior — The only listed room type is a two-bedroom apartment with one king bed, so it may not suit larger groups. The building is in a historic area, which can mean tight spaces.
  • Check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:30, which may be restrictive for late arrivals or early flights.

“I loved having the entire apartment to myself, with a cozy terrace and free bottled water. But honestly, who needs natural light in the bedroom anyway? It's not like it's a basic necessity or anything.”

9.1Verified guest

“Overall great: beautiful room, brilliant location close to the beach, restaurants, and the seafront. Shops were also nearby. The price was exceptional—that was important.”
