As others have mentioned you are paying for the location. This apartment has the best location right in the heart of the city, but tucked away so you don't hear the noise! Perfect! Quick walk from the station. We initially found the check in process a bit confusing (collecting the key from a store and then no clear explanation of which apartment) that being said we did figured it out quickly enough. The apartment is located up quite a number of stairs, which was fine for us as we had backpacks but does become tiresome after long days. The overall apartment has everything you would need for your stay and as mentioned the location makes it perfect. The apartment layout it's self doesn't lend it's self to being comfortable if you are in the loft bed for example you need to go up and down very narrow stairs to use the bathroom. The layout of the lounge area was also odd with the table being in the middle of two couches. The apartment is quite old and felt unclean especially the floors and bathroom area. The host was quick in her responses and easy to communicate with. If you are going to spend your days out exploring this is for you!
