As in many old apartments there is a strong mould smell when you enter, and everything remains damp. This is hard to treat, but important to know if you have allergies. I stayed during a cold period, so it may be better in the heat. The towels and utensils are very cheap but functional. Otherwise it’s exactly as in the pictures, the terrace is nice, and the housekeeper Wanda is very friendly. The location is great, with a bakery, pharmacy, supermarket and restaurants near by. There is no noise from the street, only noise from within the building from the neighbour above: you can hear everything, from the words on the TV shows to them using the toilet. The neighbourhood is safe, we felt safe walking home at any time of day, and this Airbnb is down a green leafy street.
