Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • No lift and upper-floor access — The apartment is reached by climbing a few flights of stairs, which could be challenging with heavy luggage or limited mobility.
  • Minor maintenance issues — A few guests noted small inconveniences such as a broken toilet seat and limited towels, though they didn't dampen the overall stay.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:59, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals (though a host is available).
