The host was extremely friendly and concerned about helping us with our stay and touring the city. Communication was very clear and timely.
The flat itself was quite clean and more spacious that we expected (even considering we were a family of 5 with 3 small kids). Location was absolutely fantastic! Rooms were nicely air conditioned (much needed in the summers). It had a very nice balcony off the main bedroom with a great view. It is a penthouse type flat on top (4th) floor with no other flats on that floor. There was a TV with cable channels which was a bonus. Clean linens and towels were provided with hotel-like toiletries. Some welcome breakfast items were also provided which were much appreciated. City maps and info on some popular tour were available in the flat which was very helpful as well.
Couple of things that we would like to note. The flat is on 4th floor with no elevator and there are about 105 stairs (we counted!) which are not all in a straight flight pattern. There are 3 different sets of stairs altogather. After 1st set you have to walk across the building floor to get to the other side for the second set of stairs and then there is a 3rd set of stairs to get to the 4th floor from the top of the 3rd floor. Honestly, this was too much for us and discouraged us from going up or down more frequently than absolutely needed (i.e. once up and once down a day only). We had 2 large bags of luggage and it was really very very difficult for us to get the luggage up. Getting is down was quite a task as well. This can be a real issue for some people.
Secondly, we would have liked to see a microwave and a washing machine in the flat as thats really what distinguishes stays in private flats from hotels, specially for families.
Lastly, there is a €50 cleaning charge and tourist tax you have to pay on you arrival in addition to what you have already paod through Airbnb. The €50 cleaning charge was a bit unusual for us as we have stayed at other nice flats (with clean linens and towels) and none had this charge applied. Secondly, the tourist tax of about €3 or €4 per person PER NIGHT was a surprise and just adds to the initial cost. I missed noting these charges before booking so they came as a surpise to me specially that I stayed for 5 nights and 3 out of my 5 family members had to pay the tax.
Overall, a fantastic location, a great host and a good flat (minus the stairs and cleaning charge).
