This is a fine place to stay. There is no elevator so you must be able to handle 4 flights of stairs- not a problem for us but might be for some. Also it is right above a bar which is very noisy and since there is no AC- not uncommon- you need the windows open. I would recommend ear plugs if that bothers you. The neighborhood feels a bit sketchy- not unsafe but not as nice as other places in the canal not far away. It was still way to get to all public transportation and shops. The apt is very cute and nicely decorated and the host was very communicative and seemed nice. However, at the end of the stay we were charged for a ripped duvet cover which we didn’t do. Possibly it happened without us knowing, but that seems odd as we are very careful. We paid the charge but it was a bummer to deal with.
