THERE IS NO DOOR TO THE APARTMENT. There is an iron gate (pictured) & obviously a secure door onto the street, but there is no secure door between the apartment & the rest of the building. The iron bars stop about a foot above the gate, leaving a large gap of well over a meter. Access to the apartment from the landing would be very easy, & there are horizontal bars providing convenient foot holds to make access even more straightforward. I can’t understand why this doesn’t seem to have bothered any other visitors.
I lost sleep concerned about unfamiliar noises in an unfamiliar city in an unsecured apartment.The area is lovely, and I’m assuming that there is very little crime, but any person bothered to crack the four digit code for the key safe on the street would have direct access to the apartment day or night; this is what kept me awake, rightly or wrongly, as my children slept.
The apartment itself is very nice & brilliantly decorated, apart from crappy pillows & bedding.
