Valor Apartments

There are places to eat around the area, and it's a nice place.

The owner was easy to reach on WhatsApp and replied quickly when I had questions. Check-in was simple, and I appreciated being able to pay in Euros or Macedonian Denars (MKD). They'd also left me a small gift. Everything was very clean, comfortable, and spacious. The bed and sofa were both comfortable, the Wi-Fi was strong and fast, and the kitchen and living room had what I needed. The temperature in the apartment was good, with plenty of hot water, though I had to fiddle with it to find the right temperature. It's on the first floor of a somewhat older building, so you have to use the stairs. The inside has an older retro look and is partly renovated. The window insulation isn't perfect, but I'm a good sleeper, so it didn't bother me. I could walk to almost all the main sights, so I didn't use public transport. It's about 15 minutes on foot to both the Main Square and the Old Bazaar. Nearby there was a supermarket, a decent bakery, good restaurants, and a green ATM (Komercijalna Banka) where I could withdraw cash without high fees.

It's close to the center, with lots of terraces nearby, and the host is welcoming. Paid street parking is available. The door hinges need oiling, but otherwise it's fine for a night or two.

We were satisfied. The rooms were clean, and making arrangements was easy.
