The hosts were out of town while we stayed in the apartment and a neighbor acted as our host. She was super friendly offering dining suggestions, directions to sites using the public transportation, and even helped carry our bags up the three flights of stairs (the stairs are no joke and there is no elevator, fyi) to the apartment. The apartment itself was very spacious. The bathroom and kitchen were well appointed and the bedroom was comfortable. The location is ok, lots of graffiti (though common in many European cities) on the buildings in the neighborhood and the nearest train station was about a 10 minute walk. There are a number of restaurants in the area and a small Italian place nearby was one of our best meals of our trip. The hosts helped us by offering us their parking place which was very beneficial. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the apartment to all readers.
