Positives:
- The apartment is full of charm and located in a convenient location to the metro, restaurants, etc.
- The host was super responsive both before and during the stay
- There was a super nice welcome package with a bottle of wine, chocolates and snacks
- The home was super clean
Negatives:
- We would not recommend for families (especially younger kids) as the 2-story layout doesn't work well for this. Two reasons: a). the sofa bed in the living room is not very comfortable and b). the stairs leading up to the 2nd floor are really small...so if you have to wake up in the middle of the night to check on your child, it could be quite dangerous. For couples, the layout works great.
- The listing states that there is AC in the apartment but it is just a portable AC unit on the 1st floor. Given you sleep on the 2nd floor, the cooler air has a hard time traveling upstairs. There were a couple of days during our stay close to 90 degrees so the upstairs got pretty warm even with the AC on full blast.
