Maia was very quick to respond to our messages and also very flexible regarding check in / out times. Although the place was small (when the sofa bed is out, there is VERY little room to move around), it was clean and all appliances / furniture was new and well kept (including the bathroom). The building is seemingly safe as there are two security doors to go through where a code must be entered, but you have to climb 6 narrow flights of stairs to reach the floor of the apartment. This floor is quite old, poorly lit and there is a communal toilet directly to the right of the apartment (which is at the end of the hall). The neighbourhood was relatively quiet and filled with great little shops / places to eat and browse. We enjoyed our stay.
