I didn't realize that a pet friendly place could smell so much. Also, the stains on the floor & furniture were disgusting. The bathroom was also unclean. Worst place I have ever stayed. Never again!

Clean and tidy apartment with everything that you need to a good stay. Close to shops, restaurants and public transport (tram, bus and train). And just 35 minutes walk in to the city this place is perfect. Close enough to the city but far enough out to be quiet.
