As an American, the apartment is like nothing I have ever seen! It is very old and full of charm. I especially enjoyed the bed in the master bedroom. It is incredibly comfortable. Though we never met, the hosts were friendly and very responsive to my questions.
The apartment is well-situated near many restaurants and within walking distance of lots of interesting sights.
Having said that, I must also admit that the apartment was not particularly clean when I arrived. The garbage had not been taken out, a dirty towel was hanging in the bathroom, and laundry had been left on the drying rack. It seemed like the family had left the apartment abruptly and had not been as thorough as they could have been about cleaning. I also found that the apartment had a very unpleasant odor, particularly in the bathroom.
Overall, an interesting space, well-located but lacking in cleanliness.
