From the pictures I thought the neighborhood was right on top of the castle and other sites. The neighborhood was not in the best of areas safety wise. There was no hot water when we got there. They had not left the hot water on and then after a day we were told it was a maintenance issue and they had a worker in the apartment with us for 2 hours. They did allow us to shower across the hall at the other apartment but we did not sign up for a hostel. If you have more than one guest and you do not want to share a room you should specify because they did not leave extra sheets until we asked the next day.
