We booked a three-bedroom apartment, but upon arrival were given a two-bedroom unit with an extra sofa bed in the living area. The staff explained that our original apartment was under renovation and that what was available were smaller units than originally booked—apologies for the inconvenience. Despite this, the location couldn’t be better—just steps away from the Royal Palace, making it super convenient for exploring the city center. The living space was spacious and cozy, and the main bedroom on the upper level had a lovely balcony with great views. However, during our stay, temperatures dropped well below zero, and even with the balcony, the room felt quite cold—this chill extended to other areas of the apartment too. The second bedroom was noticeably small, but overall, the place still had a unique charm and warm atmosphere. It’s not perfect, but the location and character make it a memorable stay, especially for travelers who value authenticity and convenience.

Located just a short walk from Central Station, it’s not far at all—just stroll along a lively street, which felt safe and convenient.
