THE INTERNET CONNECTION WAS TERRIBLE, and so for me, that killed the experience: I work while traveling, and was shocked to discover there was only one spot in the apt where a connection could be established, but it was absolutely unworkable. I ended up spending EU60 for a signal repeater and EU30 for an Aldi stick. This also happened in Barcelona - but the host graciously got a new line set up within 24 hrs. To her credit Claudia recommended both solutions - and even offered to purchase the repeater, but the fact is she misrepresented the wifi capability. I do understand this feature isn't vital for everyone, but for me it was. Ouch.

The only other issue was in the (basement) sleeping area: damp, mildewy smell.

Claudia has done some cool design work, so the place had a good feel. Very spacious, decent accommodations (other than Internet), clean. Nice building.
