If I could rate this place lower I would, but there are some things that make it 5-stars. Let me explain: The pictures shown are better than reality for sure. You need like 4 different keys to have to get in, which make it suspect at the least. The alley and stairway in which you go up to the apartment seems shady at first, but you get use to it. Let me clarify the description: It is only 1-bedroom (1 king bed), a living room (with 2 wooton beds), a loft over the dinning room in the kitchen, 1 room with a toilet (no sink), and a room with a shower & sink (separate from the toilet). With that said you are definitely not in 5-Star plush hotel with all the amenities that we are use to back in the states, but you are in a real cool local apartment that is open and has a nice vibe and was very adequate for the 4 of us who stayed there (2 couples). Let me tell you one thing though, you can look at the negatives, but the location is about a block away from the center and and 3 blocks away from St. Charles Bridge and all the best spots. So in my opinion the location makes up for the rest of the downsides. #1 rule in real-estate - LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. I would book again.
