The good:
Very close to the castle (as in, a few steps) and close to lots of restaurants and cafes. The bed was firm and very comfortable. The upgraded windows are very well insulated so you can’t hear people talking in the street below and there’s extra protection to keep the light out in the morning.
The not so good:
While the windows are wonderfully soundproofed and keep the street noise out, the apartment itself echoes a lot. The noise from the building’s interior stairway sounds like it’s coming from inside the apartment and we woke up one morning thinking that people were inside the living room. Not that big of a deal, until I tried having an important phone call and it seemed like the entire building could hear my conversation. Again, not a deal breaker if you don’t have to be on the phone — but just something to be aware of. Not sure what the host can do about it to make it better... it’s just an issue with the building.
