We had no idea until we arrived that the apartment is actually inside the castle walls. What an incredibly unique place! No lie, the trek up hill to get there is challenging if you are out of shape, but worth it. ubers can't go to the gate, but get about a block away. If you are a light sleeper, this is not the place for you. You can hear every conversation, every vehicle, every footstep. For us, it was perfect and we loved our stay there.
