This space worked well for the needs of our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children ages 8-12). We basically slept in the apartment. We did have some trouble controlling water temp in the showers (finding the right tweak to make it not scalding hot and not freezing cold) but that was a minor issue. It would be hard to cook in the kitchen I believe, but I'm sure it would be manageable for something simple. Refrigerator is small, but again, we didn't really need any of that. We were appreciative of the ability to get Netflix as one kid was not feeling well and was able to relax while watching one of his favorite movies. Stairs to the 2nd floor are very, very narrow. Again, not an issue for us, but I could see it being a problem for some. Upstairs bedroom gets great light. Overall, a charming place. Located right by all the shops and restaurants.
