Basically good, but with negative surprises
The accommodation is located in a quiet area and relatively close to the city center, which was very convenient for our stay. The apartment itself was clean overall and warm, with the heating working properly during the cold days. The living room was small but nice and functional, and the kitchen was well equipped with a refrigerator, oven, microwave, coffee machine, and even some coffee capsules provided. The bathrooms were comfortable, with hot water available at all times. Since we were out most of the day, the apartment generally met our basic needs and did not make us feel uncomfortable.
The apartment is located in a very old building on the fourth floor. The entrance and common areas did not clearly feel like a residential building, and the elevator was extremely old, very noisy, and could barely fit one person at a time. As we were four people, this meant using the stairs constantly, which was especially difficult and exhausting on the first and last days with luggage. Although the apartment was clean, we noticed areas that needed more attention, such as spider webs, which suggests the cleaning could be more thorough. There was no mop available, which was inconvenient, especially since it was snowy outside and we entered the apartment with wet and dirty shoes. There were also no extra garbage bags provided for the bathrooms, and even the toilet paper was not sufficient for an eight-day stay. In the bedrooms, the pillows did not match what was shown in the photos, as there were no extra pillows and the existing ones were not very comfortable.
What bothered us the most was an additional tax that was requested after we had already paid for our reservation. We were asked to pay around €64 more for the number of guests and nights, which was described as a municipal tax introduced from January 1st, 2026, even though our booking had been made in 2025. After discussion, we agreed to pay it, although we believe this charge should not have applied to our reservation. We also did not receive any official receipt confirming that this was indeed a municipal tax, and we paid it based solely on trust.

Well kept place in a good location, which has a good value for your money
The location was pretty good, ~0.7 KM from the old town and proximity to other main points of interest.
Minimarkets and other resutuarants near by as well.
.The apartment was big, clean and well equiped
The apartment is located on the 4th floor and the elevator is very small (fits 1+ suitcase), and doesn't function very well, so if you have a lot of luggage or don't like going up and down the stairs a lot, it's a limitation.
In addition, the watter pressure in the shower was pretty low from my point of view, so you if this is an issue for you, please take it into account.

Horrible
Location was ok
Apartment was ok
But with the lift the way it is and climbing up stairs level 4 and double the hight I will not stay here again if was free
The lift can not fit anything
Not even a suitcase care! Was not told that the place is level 4 with a useless lift that don’t work! I come with 2 kids from Australia and was a disaster going up and down the stairs with pram and luggage! I honestly will not stay here if was free! The stairs also very steep and dangerous to walk on with no lights on the corridor etc! Don’t waste your time with this place and look for something worth staying in !
La ubicación era perfecta, la boca del metro estaba a menos de 5 min andando y el centro a 10.
Por poner una pega, se la pondría al ascensor, que era bastante antiguo y nosotras preferimos no usarlo.
