The apartment is very well situated about 10/15 minutes walk from the old town and from the science park/arts centre which are a must go to.
The metro is within 300m along the road too.
It has all amenities necessary for a short stay in a city. Comfortable bed and nice living area.
The pool cannot be used in November and December sadly as we would loved to have taken a dip after the marathon (should have read this) but it did not detract from an overall positive experience.
