Nice apartment in a perfect location to see the major tourist sites.

The stair climb isn’t easy with big suitcases.

Ayomi - 11/14/2024

nice location, big rooms, big kitchen and good kitchen tools.

We felt like almost dying when we check in and out with our big baggage because we must go up and down very bad steep spiral staircase to the 4th floor. And the front door was very heavy and too tight. difficult shower.
