Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Mixed ratings on certain categories — While overall rating is 7.9, some categories like 'cat7' score only 6.2, indicating potential inconsistencies in some aspects of the stay.
  • Some apartments may lack a kettle — At least one guest noted the kitchenette was fully equipped except for a kettle, so if you rely on one, you may want to ask ahead.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so plan accordingly if traveling with an animal.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is from 14:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight may need to make arrangements.
