Let me just get this out of the way - five flights of stairs is no joke. BUT, the location, the apartment, the price and the charm are worth every step!!!! Plus, my thighs are thanking me (they're just a little bit tighter now😁).
The interior of the flat is perfect! Washer/dryer, great kitchen table for spreading out, big bathroom, three petit balconies, and CHARM!
The location is fantastic. That part needs to be known. It's not central but seems close to most everything, its super close to three metro stops, lots and lots of shopping, only a 10 minute walk to the Picasso Museum and I love that it's not a neighborhood packed with moron tourists (and I say that being a tourist myself).
Marine was also a fantastic communicator. She was very upfront about the stairs to her flat - a fact I greatly appreciate. She was incredibly helpful with any and all questions I had and given the fact she was leaving for China for 10 months, it's quite impressive how responsive she was....EVEN once she arrived in China.
I happily recommend Marines flat. You won't be disappointed and your legs will thank you (eventually).
