Merima is a terrific host. She responded to all communication very promptly. I especially appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work out both an early checkin and late checkout with me for a very fair charge. Her apartment is as pictured, spacious, full of skylights and nicely decorated. The location was perfect for me because it was very close to the start/finish of the race I came to run.
I am surprised though that none of the previous reviewers mentioned that "penthouse" translates to what they call in New York a 5 story walkup. There are 11 flights of stairs, and no lift. If you are disabled, or have much luggage, or don't want to have to climb and descend so many stairs, you might look elsewhere. A couple of the windows did not open and the heat wasn't working for some reason, but neither was a big issue for me due to the cool but not cold weather during my visit.
