What we liked about the apartment: it was very spacious and nicely laid out. The view was pretty. There was a king bed, refrigerator and oven. The location in the old city was good, very close to the metro. The host’s friend met us upon arrival and she was lovely.
What we didn’t like: the apartment is tired: needs a coat of paint, some new linens, and a few bits fixed/freshened up. The big deal is the stairs, especially if you have suitcases with any weight to them. The apartment is perched on the edge of a narrow steep set of stairs, (6 flights, it is at the 4th flight level) in a narrow dark corridor. You can either enter at the top of the apartment building, by taking the funicular up, then walking down the street to the top entrance, then down two precarious uneven stone-stepped flights of stairs; or you can enter from the bottom, a very short walk from the metro station, then up four flights of narrow stone spiral staircase. This is an ancient building, thus all the stone stairs.
Now if you are physically fit, have little luggage, or are quite strong and have good balance, you will be fine and may love the old world charm. We are fit and were able to do it, but would not choose to do it again. This apartment is best for young people or a family with a couple of older kids (not toddlers), as I think there was a sofa bed.
