I donât recall reading about all the stairs. However the main problem was oddly enough paying for the second half. The link to pay didnât work. When Vrbo tried to contact you (multiple times) there was no answer. The one time we did get through they said my card was denied but my bank said they had no record of any transaction. Finally on the last day of payment, the link magically worked. Very stressful and the man on the phone was not helpful. Otherwise I would book again but pay for it in the beginning.

Sky view is right in the centre of town and it was nice not to have to drive everywhere, we parked the car and off we went. The views were great and tha apartment was spotless and we had everything we needed. I donât think you have missed anything. Thank you for a brilliant stay.

It would very useful if the heated towel rail was working. A lovely light and airy space to come back to right in the centre of town. Thank you.
