Before arriving, I didn’t know if I wanted to stay for more than three nights.
Finally, I stayed for more than a week.
The apartment exceeded expectations, felt like a unique home and the right place to be.
Here’s why:
- Extremely charming. The architecture is outstanding and the ceilings have an enormous height.
- The living/sleeping room is stunning, the furnishing tasteful and of superior quality. Due to its height (at least 3,5 metres), the room (and the whole apartment) feels even bigger and leaves a lot of room to breathe. The wooden ceiling is marvellous.
- The kitchenette has all that’s needed to cook some small meals (although there were no food items like oil, salt and pepper) while watching the street life. It’s clean, well-equipped and everything works as it should.
- The unique room layout. Overall three doors lay between the stairway and living/sleeping room.
- The shared terrace, most of the times completely vacant. It’s a joy to sit there and enjoy the atmosphere. The whole charming courtyard with the tea room (very chill and highly recommendable) and the art gallery (which had interesting and thought-provoking objects exhibited in the yard) is a hidden little gem in its own right.
- The shower with its several different settings is amazing.
- The windows can be opened.
- Perfect location amidst the old town, easily reachable by metro. Several restaurants and bars right next door.
- The check-in is easy, also at night when the reception is closed.
Because the host David was on vacation, Lucie from the reception represented him. She was very hospitable and patiently helped with all my questions. I extended my stay on a short notice twice, and both apartment switches were simple and convenient. The other two apartments were both fantastic as well and exceeded my expectations once again.
There were some minor issues to fix, but that’s most likely already done by now.
I’ll be happy to return!
