  • No pets allowed — The apartment does not accept pets, which may be a limitation for those travelling with animals.
  • Check-in window only until 23:59 — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight won't be accommodated.
  • Single beds only — The apartment has two single beds but no double or twin option, which may not suit all couples.

“This place was made for a short stay. I had a warm welcome from the owner. The location was marvellous, a 15-minute drive to a combined museum. Moreover, it was just off a quiet area, and the nearby tram stops.”

Easy check-in with helpful staff. Good communication and customer care, even received a refund for a temporarily faulty cooker. One of the best experiences worldwide.”
