The apartment is very spacious with a lovely terrace. The view is of other buildings and noisy street. The kitchen is not really well geared for home cooking. The furnishings needs an upgrade too. Then there is the stairs. 83 x steps up, the last incredibly steep which is a challenge when you arrive hot and very tired from a day out. The building looks elapidated from the inner courtyard, but once you are up in the apartment it is ok. Would not recommend this apartment to people who are not fit or are older. It is just to strenuous to get up and home. Giuseppe, our host was very welcoming and assited with our luggage when we arrived in the heat and we were exhausted. The beach is within walking distance and metro a short walk. It was just the up and down on thos stairs that really was a challenge.
