The good:
1. Location- walking distance to all the major attractions and sites. Neighborhood is quaint with a maze of cobbled pedestrian streets and tons of delicious restaurants and stores nearby.
2. Apartment is gorgeous and tastefully decorated.
3. The AC units in both the living area and the bedroom were necessary and appreciated- it was 93-100 degrees that entire time we were there and the AC allowed us a respite from the hot weather outside.
4. Responsive hosts
Needs improvement:
1. For how much this rental cost nightly, I expected the kitchen to be better appointed. There was zero salt/pepper/spices/cooking oil. No paper towels or dish rags to dry hands. No tea and only instant coffee.
2. The upstairs shower never had hot water. We were instructed to leave the faucet on for 5-10 minutes but no hot water ever came.
3. The downstairs shower did have hot water but it was intermittent and without a shower curtain, the water splashed over the entire bathroom. We were not given many towels to start with and had to use them to mop up the floor/door after each shower.
4. The internet is very poor. I think it is a wifi extender as I could find no modem or router in the apartment- the speeds confirmed my suspicion. Barely enough to load emails, nowhere near enough to send pictures or stream. After a long day of walking around in 95+ degree heat, being unable to relax on our tablet and watch a movie was a major disappointment.
Would stay again if the shower and internet issues were resolved.
