Throw in the vibrant restaurant scene and you’ve got a city with the potential to create some truly special memories. And these top Airbnb vacation rentals will put you right in the heart of the action. Scroll down to learn more.
1. Small studio flat (from USD 32)
A great option for couples or solo travelers on a budget, this low-priced studio flat will put you right in the middle of the city’s beating heart. This small, but equipped flat is situated on the main tree-lined street in the Old Town, which means you’ll be out and about exploring the area’s historic charms the second you set foot outside. Naturally, this means that those looking for a quieter accommodation option may wish to look elsewhere, but former guests were suitably impressed with the location, giving it top marks, as well as praising the view from the window and the low price. Amenities include wi-fi access and a microwave, but the lack of a fully-equipped kitchen should pose few issues, given the position close to so many local eateries.
