Nice little place in an excellent part of town for exploring, the area is safe and quiet but with cafes and shops close by.

There are a lot of stairs to get to the flat, several flights (it is an attic after all) but certainly not for the faint-hearted or infirm. You are warned about this in the listing, it does mean you get a really good view over the tops of many buildings in an historical part of the city.

The place itself is definitely quaint and period and has a nice feel but it was very cold with little heat source and to that end we spent more time out than we might otherwise have done. Were there to have been some method of cooking hot food it might have helped. The flat was perhaps a somewhat pricey in that respect.

It's a good place for a sense of the past and in keeping with visiting some of the museums detailing the Golden Age and it is nice and light so I'd say between April and October would be perfect.
