Wonderful apartment, conveniently located right in the beautiful old town. Spacious, well furnished, with comfortable beds and an excellent kitchen with all the amenities needed. The only negative point was the shower that doesn’t have a good pressure and the water runs out of the shower area wetting half of the bathroom.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and totally recommend it.
