This apartment has the potential to be fabulous but falls short.
It's located in a beautiful old building in a good location; accessible to many city attractions. The apartment has many lovely features but is tired and many things weren't working properly.
Most importantly, there is a multi-storey building being constructed directly opposite. The windows look straight into the construction zone (my partner and son found this interesting- I wasn't quite so engaged!). For the most part the construction was surprisingly quiet through the double-glazed windows, but from 7am to 9:30am the noise was constant. That wasn't the way I hoped to wake up on holidays.
Marie-Adele left a bottle of bubbly and ice bucket for our arrival, but I'd prefer to have the appliances and fittings functioning properly and buy my own bubbly.
Some overdue maintenance would quickly raise the rating of this apartment.
The construction cannot be helped but if you know that's what's happening, it's easier to accept.
