The positives about this apt: 1.) The location is unbeatable. You can walk to about 2/3 of the major tourist attractions in the city. 2.) Plenty of space to spread out, especially by European standards. 3.) Host allowed us to check in early at no additional cost, since the apt was unoccupied the night before. 4.) Communication prior to arrival was very prompt and full of detail. 5.) Owner's recommended car service worked well for airport pick up and drop off. Price was only 2 Euros more than a taxi.
The negatives: The person who checked us in was in a big hurry, not friendly and not familiar with the apt. Ex: did not know how to work the heat controls. It was so hot (in Dec!) that we had to open windows. This let in a lot of street noise. Cleanliness not the best. Kitchen counters sticky, coffee pot still had grounds in it from previous occupant. Kitchen is disorganized and not well equipped. (In an apt that sleeps 6, there should be a coffee pot that makes more than 2 cups at a time!) Don't expect to be able to cook. Fortunately there are many good restaurants just steps away. Towels are wafer thin. Description includes a fireplace but it doesn't work. Hot water is wonky....only one person at a time can shower and the water never really gets very warm.
Bottom line....this place worked ok for our 4 night visit but I would not describe it as luxurious.
