Great stay close to all the attractions

My 2 day stay here with my sister was everything we were looking for. It's super close to the attractions (right outside of the castle, and a couple of blocks from the waterfront). Communications were great, we were able to leave our luggage here prior to our check-in. Room was great for 2 people, AC worked well, shower worked well. Even had a fridge and small kitchen appliances. Beds were comfortable. Bedding was decent.

The property was in a cute gated compound with easy walking distance to attractions. Nicholas was very helpful during check in process. The only thing that was a bit odd was the sliding bathroom door which had gaps.

Nick (the manager) was really helpful, which made all the difference since I was travelling solo. The accommodation is located in a great position only 10 min walk from the port and Riva. The apartment was clean and spacious and included everything you need for a short stay.

I believe there was an administrative error so we did not get our room in the hotel but staff had found us an alternative which turned out to be an upgrade in our booking. We were grateful that they took care of this without us having to worry at all but can’t provide any comment on the hotel facilities. Check-in was easy and we were provided loads of helpful info for our stay.

The place was very unique. We had our own little outdoor terrace/sitting area. The rooms were fine, lacking a living room/couch. The location is good, very close to the old area of the city connected by old walking only streets, it was very cool. The city is very nice, wish we had more time there. More pillows for sleeping or more supportive pillows is recommended.

Overall very nice, only a few minor issues

Overall very nice. The only issues were the chandelier near the window being always in the way, and that all lamps had cool blue light bulbs making it hard to fall asleep. We missed warm lights.

A jewel close to the city centre

We really enjoyed staying here and felt relaxed and at home. The apartment was beautifully furnished and clean. Ravi is a fantastic host. Check-in was a bit awkward as the website said we could pay by Credit card but cash only was accepted. But our host was flexible in having us make an alternative arrangement.
