8/10 Good
"The apartment is big, new and very comfortable for a family in old building. Very close to port and center. We stayed 6 nights as a family of 5, had washing machine, it was very helpful. Some issues: First Expedia does not show City Tax correctly it's 4 euro per night per adult and not 2 euro since August 2026. Second issue is apparent cleaning, apartment was only cleaned once during our stay on 4th day, we asked for more several times. I think cleaning at least every second day of stay should be done, overall we recommend. Tip: Carefour Express is just a minute walk, every morning we grab two bagetts from there."
