Cozy place, excellent neighborhood but read on…
The place is very nice and got everything one needs however it is a tiny place so it’s great for few days. It’s good to know the details so you determine if it works for you. I stayed there with my 16 years old daughter and it was just about right.
There are 2 levels with the living space on the main floor which is like a small studio, I think it is about 300 Sq. feet (30 sq meters) and has a nice kitchenette with a fridge, freezer, stove & oven, a small dishwasher, toaster, espresso machine, and lots of kitchen supplies. There is 1/2 a bath, a sleeper sofa and a TV. The sofa bed is a bit hard but sofa beds tend to be this way and it is ok for few days. The ceiling is about 6’6” high (2 meters). I am 6’2”” and had to adapt, I did hit my hands on the ceiling a couple of times while pulling a shirt over my head.
I slept downstairs while my daughter slept upstairs. There is no AC on the main floor, the AC is only in the bedroom upstairs. We stayed there in mid July and it got to the high 90s Fahrenheit (mid 30s Celsius), the downstairs was very warm and uncomfortable to sleep in. There is a fan but doesn’t really help much.
The circular stairs upstairs are narrow, we had an upright thin suite case and managed to get it upstairs but one might struggle to get a standard normal size suitcase up, you might have to unpack downstairs. A heavy person might struggle going up and down the stairs.
The AC upstairs is cold and nice, the bedroom is cozy and the double-bed is comfortable, lots of pillows and comforters. There is a nice modern bathroom with double sink, very nice shower with good hot water, and a washer & Dryer. The ceiling may only be a bit higher than the downstairs, however the ceiling in the shower is only about 6 feet.
The neighborhood is amazing and lively with lots of shops, cafes, and restaurants and close to all the attractions. We loved the neighborhood so very much.
As far as the hosts are concerned. Overall they were nice but responses were slow. My advice is to get in touch using WhatsApp. The unit is managed by a property company. Few weeks before the trip I contacted them to inquire if we can extend by an extra night, I received a response 2 days later that they would check and get back to me but never heard back, however by that time our plans firmed up and we no longer needed the extra night. The only other time I contacted them was re. the check-in. We were flying out from the US on a Monday evening to check-in on a Tuesday. The Saturday before, I contacted them to inquire about the check-in procedure, by Monday I still did not hear back. I sent another request Monday morning and later that day I decided to call them directly, the lady who answered was very friendly, took my flight arrival info and said that they’d meet me at the unit to do the check-in. They also offered to have a car pick us up from the airport which we accepted. The charge was 82 euros but I think it was worth it being picked up by a driver who knows exactly where to drop you especially following such a long flight. The driver Mohammad was very professional and friendly, had a nice BMW with a good AC, we ended up using his services multiple times during our stay especially since we needed early picks ups to go to attractions and to/from train stations.
