We were warmly greeted by our host upon our arrival. He insisted on carrying our luggage up the many flights of stairs before helping us get acquainted with the apartment and the area. He provided a map with details of the bests ways to get to all of the main tourists attractions, which we found quite helpful while on our trip.
The apartment was small, but well equipped with all of the essentials necessary for our stay, including an iron and blow dryer. The shower was very small; so small that it was difficult for me to bathe at 6' 1" . It's probably impossible to shave your legs or wash your hair without opening the shower door. The large patio is the most charming part of the apartment. I think its a good choice for 2 or 3 days but might feel cramped for people accustomed to US sized living spaces.
The area was really great. We enjoyed several great restaurants and bars during our stay, and the location was convenient for us to walk to many tourist attractions.
