    This is a very nice property, it has everything you need and more, plenty of room, extremely clean and the best part about it is the location to old town area, simply our best stay so far on our European adventure!

  • S from United States (10/10)

    The apartment was in a great location. You could walk to the main square or easily take transit. It was clean, comfortable and spacious. Everything we wanted. We were visiting our son and had family renting another of the apartments. Nice to have a great kitchen and table to eat in if we wanted. Would definitely stay there again if we come back. Denis was very responsive if we needed anything at all and very nice.
