Katie's flat was perfect! Centrally located and within walking distance of the castle and all our tour meeting places.
We didn't use what I assumed was the microwave, but I didn't take the time to read the manual she had in her guide book. Also didn't have time to use the washer, so can't say how it worked or if it also dried clothes. Had too many activities to utilize. So can't comment on those.
If you have bad knees or trouble walking up stairs, I wouldn't use this place. No elevator available. we challenged ourselves for the additional exercise, so we didn't mind.
The place was very clean and kitchen well outfitted. Grocery store was just around the corner.
And I thought the bed was firm and very comfortable. My husband thought it was a bit firm for his taste, though. If you're used to a fluffy bed, this is not it, but I slept very well and no back pain.
I highly recommend this place as a centrally located play to stay that is comfortable with a responsive host.
