The location was excellent. You are right under the castle and walking distance to the festival and some good restaurants and attractions. You can even see some of the fireworks from the windows.

Lorraine was extremely helpful and responsive to both calls for directions and suggestions on what to do, where to shop, etc. She also fixed a problem immediately literally within an hour.

But the flat itself had numerous issues. The beds were uncomfortable bordering on box springs. The couches in the living room were even worse...almost unusable as they were low, saggy, and had old ill fitting slip covers. We never used the old small tube style TV. Internet speed was fine.

The old wood floors had long gaps between the boards and squeaked loudly as you walked. The doors did the same when opened or closed. No one wanted to walk on the floor in bare feet.

The bathroom had a very small shower although hot water was OK if you set the heater on high. And there were only very thin towels provided - no wash cloths or floor mats. Soaps, shampoos were left behind by previous tenants.

The kitchen was fully equipped, although cramped, and the fridge was good sized. There was a small clothes washer in the kitchen but we didn't use it as the dryer was a raisable rack in the entry.

The whole place had the feel of your first apartment you got when you left the dorms in college. Everything hodge podge, hand me downs, mismatched and uncared for.

At $300 per night, we expected more.
