We had an issue with the plumbing during our stay and so moved to different accommodation after a night. The management company were very responsive in coming to take a look but due to nature of the issue we decided it was better to move. The apartment itself has lots of lovely original features, despite being in need of some attention to the plumbing. As it’s so old, many floors are at an angle and there are various points the ceilings are very low for taller guests, however it is full of character.
The location is great if you're looking for a lively spot - lots of bars and restaurants around and opposite a large ‘gentleman’s club’, however this did mean there was a lot of noise into the early hours. It is close to many of the main tourist sites so well positioned to see the city highlights.
The listing states that it’s ideal for families, but we didn’t think it was great for younger families - there’s a lot of narrow steps to reach the apartment, and no lift, so would be tricky if you need a pushchair. There’s also a staircase within the apartment with gaps between each step and no handrail, directly above another staircase, so a bit risky for under 5s.
All in all, with a little TLC it would be a wonderful apartment, but better for those looking for lively nightlife than families.
