I stayed here for 6 weeks and enjoyed myself very much—the apartment is exactly as described and the location is excellent. There's one significant problem: the upper level is intolerably hot in the summer—so much so that for many nights my husband and I had to sleep on the couch downstairs where the air conditioner is located. It likely would have been fine if there were a fan or two, but *there are no fans in the apartment.* Otherwise, it's true that the kitchen isn't equipped for long stays. I expected this and it was fine, but I did have to purchase a wine opener and a grater myself.
