  Good communication. Met on arrival. Great location in the heart of the old town. Kitchen facilities pretty good.
  
  What could be improved: The window near the air conditioner couldn't be closed fully, so it was noisy when people were walking in the lane behind the apartment.

• Eugene from United Kingdom – 29 July 2023 (9/10)
