The apartment is exactly as pictured, spacious and charming, the location is convenient, and the host and hostess are very kind and helpful. During my June/July stay, since there is no air conditioning, the apartment was very hot, and, although the apartment is high up on the 5th floor, the noise from the street was very loud and continued day and night. Apparently other guests have had no problems with this, but for me the heat and noise made it difficult to sleep.
