The room was very hot at night time and even though it is described as being in a conservation area very noisy. The 7pm check in may be inconvenient for some although as the host was on that day available I could drop my bags earlier - but this would have been inconvenient if not. I asked in advance of booking if I could smoke on the outdoor terrace and the reply was yes however when I asked for an ashtray she seemed astonished at my request, this made me uncomfortable. When I arrived she seemed irritated that I interrupted her work call and rushed. I was not shown how tricky the key was to the door of the apartment it was hard to open. Vladimir was very friendly and pleasant.
The walk up is around a narrow spiral staircase and I would not advise booking unless you are very fit.
