Michaele was a very welcoming host - charming. However we found the condition of the apartment very disappointing. The apartment was basically clean but very shabby indeed. We were told not to open windows upstairs - or move the bed, as they were broken. Many things were mended with Duct tape. The narrow spiral stairs would not allow for our suitcases to go up to the bedroom, so we had to leave them in the living room and dress there. Windows were in dire need of cleaning. And the photo used to advertise is nowhere near the apartment - it is in the foyer of the main building which is a long walk and very removed from the apartment.
