Old Town Apartment with Mezzanine Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard “Old Town Apartment with Mezzanine,” I was picturing some cramped tourist trap with a glorified loft bed. But you know what? This place actually surprised me in the best way possible. The mezzanine isn’t just marketing speak – it’s genuinely clever use of space that makes the whole apartment feel way more expansive than you’d expect from a 3-star spot in the old town. I mean, you’ve got your sleeping area tucked up there (with surprisingly decent headroom, thank god), while the main floor stays open for actually living in the space.

What really won me over was how the owners clearly get what travelers actually need. The kitchen isn’t just for show – there’s proper counter space and decent cookware, which honestly makes such a difference when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two. The whole setup feels like someone’s actual home rather than a sterile hotel room, you know? Little touches everywhere that matter – good lighting for reading, enough outlets where you need them, and – this might sound weird – but the shower pressure is fantastic. I’ve stayed in way more expensive places where you’re basically getting misted by sad, lukewarm drizzle.

The location thing is interesting because while it’s right in the thick of old town (which means those gorgeous narrow streets and centuries-old buildings practically outside your door), you’re not dealing with the absolute chaos of the main tourist drags. I could actually sleep at night, even during what seemed like a pretty busy season. There’s this little cafe about two blocks away that locals seem to know about – amazing coffee and none of the tourist markup you get closer to the main squares. Actually, the whole neighborhood has that lived-in feel where you’ll see people heading to work in the morning alongside the tourists with their cameras.

Parking was… well, it’s old town, so manage your expectations. But honestly, once you’re settled in, you won’t want to drive anyway. Everything’s walkable, and there’s something kind of magical about stepping out your door directly onto those cobblestone streets. The 8.7 rating makes total sense to me – this isn’t luxury by any stretch, but it’s thoughtfully done and genuinely comfortable. The kind of place where you find yourself staying in for breakfast because it actually feels good to be there, rather than rushing out because your accommodation is just somewhere to crash.
