Casa Astronomului

It’s right in the historic center, which worked very well for us as tourists. For a fair price, the rooms have air conditioning, comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, and large LCD TVs. Tea and coffee are included. There’s no reception, so call about an hour before you arrive. The host sends the details after you book. A good option for tourists and backpackers.

There are only two or three rooms, so book well ahead. There’s no breakfast, though plenty of places to eat nearby. The owner was very helpful, and everything was clean. The location is right in the heart of town, next to the Bridge of Lies.

The room itself was nice, but several details didn’t match what I expected from the listing. The view is the neighbors’ house. To see the Liars Brige, you’d have to climb out the window. Finding the entrance is tricky too: there’s no sign, only a little writing above the property’s main entrance. The toilet seat was the cheapest kind and didn’t fit properly, which felt like an accident waiting to happen. The manager also wasn’t flexible about storing our bags for a few hours. I won’t stay there again.

The owner was nice, and the place is lovely and very central. But cleaning was poor. They replaced the towels and didn’t do anything else in the room. I don’t usually mind, but the price is quite high, so I expected full daily cleaning.
