I hesitated to even write a review because Claudia is awesome and helpful and very communicative. The family photos in the apartment depict a loving, sweet family. But, in the end the reminders from airbnb persisted.
While the apartment is situated in a bustling area, that comes with lots of noise. Since there is no aircon, windows open was a must when we were there, but the noise on the street below is non-stop. While it is mostly a walking street, cars and motos do use it at night and late night strollers' voices carry to the apartment easily. Best time to sleep was from about 3am until 6am.
The apartment is charming and rooms are very good size, two out of three beds were quite comfortable. There is no closet in the master. The door to the master bedroom is a slider and does not keep out noise from the rest of the apartment.
As other reviewers pointed out, the bathrooms are tiny. While one can expect that in Europe, the showers being so small does present a challenge. Trying to bend down to pick up a piece of dropped soap, say, is impossible! I would not recommend people over 5'10" or with any heft use them.
The building is old and thus has worn stairs of uneven heights that wind around and is a challenge for for people of a certain age (mine). Getting up and down with or without luggage can be difficult. I do not recommend this apartment for elderly, heavy or mobility challenged folks.
As other reviewers pointed out, the kitchen is tiny so not really a place to prepare meals.
For a family of four, it is a nice size apartment but taken up by large furniture in the main dining/living area.
The area is terrific, lots of cafes, restaurants, night life, shops, groceries, etc. The apartment is street facing and thus very noisy.
