Bathroom ice cold, had no heating;rest of the apt. had heating, but every single time when the heater restarted (almost every 30 min.) the heater made a terrible noise, also at night, so we didn't have good nights. otherwise it would have been comfortable and it's well situated. also the stairs are steep and narrow, not easy to get up with some luggage.
Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2025
