The apartment is located in an old 4-storey building which looks like it was once a grand hotel. The location is good, being only 10 minutes walk from the Pike Market Place. The building itself has been refurbished inside and appears to house only Airbnb-style tenants, there is an old-world charm about it, with its high ceilings and spacious rooms, and its wide hallways and stairways (no elevator), and heating pipes which go bang in the night.
All the electrical appliances and fittings appear fairly new, as with the cutlery and crockery and pots and pans, although it didn't appear that much cooking had been done by previous tenants, given the lack of food items in the kitchen cupboards, eg. salt, cooking oil, soya sauce, which are often found in Airbnb-style apartments. The fridge wasn't working properly, but after contacting the host, a repair man (and the host) came around and fixed it.
