Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Ground-floor apartment — The 'basement' in the name is literal — the apartment is below street level, which may not suit everyone.
  • Street noise possible — Central location means some road noise, as one guest noted, though they accepted it as expected in a city.
  • No on-site parking — The apartment doesn't list parking, so driving guests may need to find public options.
  • Low price point — From £9 per night, this is an entry-level price that may imply basic conditions despite the high rating.

“I had a wonderful stay. The flat was incredibly spacious and comfortable, with two double beds and a sofa bed in the sitting room. The modern bathrooms were clean and well-maintained, and I especially appreciated the ensuite. Despite some road noise, which is to be expected in a city, the location was perfect for exploring key sights, all within easy walking distance. Mario, the host, was incredibly responsive and made sure my stay was enjoyable. This flat was truly a fantastic find. Cons: I couldn't find any faults at all.”
