The location of the apartment was excellent and the hosts communication for the most part was great.
Unfortunately the radiators which could not be turned off (even after a visit from the owner) and the noisy pipe-works meant with the associated heat and noise we simply could not get a good night’s rest at the apartment. As such we left after two nights of our five paid nights to stay in a nearby hotel.
The set up did not work for us in this instance. Lesson learned going forward is not to book anywhere which does not have a set of good reviews already posted.
