The location of the apartment is excellent. Right in the middle of the old city. Yes that means some noise, especially Friday and Saturday, but that is the nature of a central location. The refurbishment of the building is high quality and tasteful. Facilities are excellent. Communication and check in were great - very easy. The only down sides are (1) accessing the common washing machine is a little awkward, and (2) what may be more challenging to some guests is the smell of plumbing, especially at the back of the building. This is a common problem for old buildings and was usually restricted to the back of the building only during our seven days, but it did find its way into the apartment through the night on two occasions, although simply running water for a minute through the bathroom sink and shower quickly removed it.
