The location is excellent for access to countless shops, restaurants and historic sites. However, fair warning that designing a modern apartment in an historic building results in awkward choices: the bathroom sink on the second floor is inside the shower stall in this tiny bathroom. However even more daunting is the entry way to the apartment. The elevator only reaches the fifth floor. The apartment is on the sixth and seventh floor. The door to the apartment is at the top of narrow steps and positioned next to a deep stairwell. The steps into the unit are steep and a challenge even for two people trying to lift luggage into the apartment. On a more positive note when we awakened to no hot water one morning, the host was quick to respond.
