Our stay at Sebastein's apartment exceeded our expectations. The check-in process was arranged with a couple of e-mails the day before our arrival. Sebastein met us at the elevator and carried our bags up the flight of stairs to the apartment. He then explained how everything worked and left the keys. He provided a booklet that answered all of the questions that come up during the stay, so we never had to ask him for help again. The apartment was great. It is in a building that is over 200 years old, so there are squeaky floors, but otherwise the space was perfect. Having the washing machine in the unit was so helpful. We could have packed a lot less. The area is just outside of the touristy spots, very residential. It can be a bit noisy when the windows are open, especially if you are not used to city life. We actually enjoyed that part. You could hear music from the cafe at the corner - very charming! The metro was about a block away, which made getting around very easy.
