We stayed in the Royal Court Apartments for a 5 night stay over the Christmas holiday. Our apartment was on the 5th floor and was very spacious and comfortable. The apartments are located about 10 minutes from most sites, maybe 15 minutes from the center of Old Town. There is a subway station nearby at I.P. Pavlova that we used to get around pretty much anywhere very quickly and easily (tickets are time stamped, so you can ride anywhere within the time of the ticket you buy). Because our flat was on the 5th floor, our shower was not really a shower because the bathroom ceiling was slanted. We were able to use the shower head to shower/bathe but if you prefer showers, you might want to ask for a room on a lower floor. The staff tidies up your room each day, much like a hotel, which is nice. The reception staff is VERY friendly and eager to sign you up for various excursions. We did a couple of excursions through them that we enjoyed. Using the reception staff was great because we got picked up and dropped off back at the apartment. All in all, a great stay, we loved the city and our accommodations!
