Central location, choice of bar for breakfast. Courteous staff.

Bed not too big, bathroom needs fixing, recommend changing the faucets especially the sink and uncomfortable shower in the room where we were, the handheld shower did not stay up.

Only the location was good as it was close to everything.

We were extremely disappointed with our stay. We had booked 2 private rooms, but when we arrived we discovered that they were actually located inside a larger apartment that had been divided into several smaller rooms!! In other words, we essentially stayed in a hostel and this is something that was absolutely not clear from the Booking.com description!! Several important details were not mentioned at the time of booking: -Although our rooms had private bathrooms, the other rooms in the apartment did not. With that said, we saw people going from the bathroom to their rooms almost wearing nothing. -The shared kitchen was not mentioned either. We knew that our room would have a mini fridge and a coffee machine, but we did not expect to share a full kitchen and its facilities, including the fridge, coffee machine, oven, etc.!! -Since we are talking about an apartment you understand that there was 0 sound insulation. We heard a guy from the next room playing his flute for more than 1 hour. Even though they tried to clean the rooms we stayed in, they felt really filthy because the whole apartment & building were extremely old and poorly maintained. Even the elevator was problematic. It would not work unless the inner door was properly closed, meaning that if someone else in the building left it open, we had to walk up and down 4 floors. Unfortunately, the owner we met spoke 0 English, so we were unable to properly communicate all this with him. The moment we arrived and were shown this old apartment was honestly a shock. Thankfully it was just a 1 night stay so the next morning we checked out and left. We paid 72 euro per room, per night, which was absolutely not worth the price. The biggest issue is that the accommodation was presented as private rooms without making it clear that they were actually rooms inside a shared apartment, essentially a hostel setup!!

Certainly the cleanliness.

Market area, if you opened the windows, it smelled bad. Also, the broken slats of the bed. Available owner. Let's say the quality-price ratio is okay, they should include breakfast since the nearby bars are somewhat dirty.
