    Super close to the exciting area of the city, with the cathedral on your doorstep and all the other points of interest nearby. Also close to the railway station. The bars below your window won't stop you from sleeping - the double glazing will see to it. Checking-in was super uncomplicated.

    It is in a popular restaurant area that gets very noisy. On the weekend I could still hear parting at 2am. Window shutters great noise cancelling but if you are light sleeper you will still here diners below

    Lovely apartment, small but good use of space

    The lock on the sliding entrance door to the apartment was very flimsy and hard to use. It was not a secure lock. The tiny table and chairs in the entry was not really usable in this location.

    It was good to have a 2 bedroom apartment. We used one bedroom for leaving our suitcases open. Both rooms were small so it would have been very tight without this extra space. The location is very central to everything but with good noise cancelling windows.

    Unfortunately, and this is the trade off of being located in the centre in a street with many restaurants and bars, it is too noisy at night - there was singing and shouting till 2:30 am which is not so good to whom has a 'light' sleep and needs to have a good rest.

    The property itself provides a good stay and it is very convenient for 1 or 2 guests. The location is perfect considering it's in the centre and one can walk everywhere without depending on transportation and have access to restaurants, supermarkets, all that you may need.

    Right on the Main Street. Lots of noise down below from the pubs because of this. It did settle down later, and if this is not critical to you then you’re all set. To be clear it wasn’t rowdy or ill temepered sounding, just people having a great time.

    Central location made it easy to walk around from. Felt very safe there the whole time.

    The location was both great and a little challenging. It was fantastic to be in the middle of the historic part of town and so close to the cathedral, especially over Semana Santa and Easter. However it did get pretty noisy late at night with the revelers on the street. I still felt it was worth the location...either join in or bring earplugs!

    The bathroom was super tiny and it really missed a window. The curtain in the shower didn't really serve it's purpose and it's also shorter than the shower. The wash basin is probably the tiniest I've ever seen so it was quite difficult to wash your face in it. Also it's a bit strange having the basin in the room outside of the bathroom. I understand that the properties situated in the city centre have limited space but I still think there could be done something about the bathroom.

    The location is great. Overall the apartment is nice. Comfortable beds.

    The people in the room across us were very loud, if there would be a thicker wall and door, that would isolate the noise much better, but the apartment was very spacious and comfortable so that made up for it.

    Two small things that keep it from getting a perfect score: 1) checking in / getting the key was a hassle. Apparently I was supposed to receive an email with information on how to retrieve the key but I believe I didn't receive it. I called the organisers and they insisted I should have it somewhere but if I didn't find it they would definitely resend it to my email. I didn't receive any emails following that phone call but thankfully a bit later a very kind employee let us into the property and handed over the keys. Again, I'm not quite sure where the original issue occurred, but the process deserves an internal review. 2) the floor of the shower seemed very... flexible. Like you might break through it if you'd be too heavy.

    Excellent location, well-equipped kitchen, comfy beds, and very fair pricing! The apartments are located in the pedestrian zone in the vicinity of plenty of cafés but it didn't get loud in the evening. Our room was clean and fulfilled all expectations. Thank you!

    It might have been helpful to have had a frying pan suitable for two or more people instead of one!

    Lovely room with a terrace overlooking the Cathedral, which got the sun more or less all day. Although the studio was small it had everything that we needed, and was very clean. The bathroom was spacious, and the shower very good.

    The bars downstairs are very noisy and are busy until long after midnight. If you have a room at the front of the building, you will hear the noise. We had to close the windows completely to be able to get to sleep.

    Excellent location, very close to everything. Parking easy to find close to the guesthouse. Very clean and comfortable. When we had a problem with the keys, someone came quickly to help us after we called them.
