I have mixed feelings about my 10 night stay at the apartment. Unfortunately, my flight arrived almost 5 hours late, so I arrived at the apartment at 10:10pm. I had communicated with the person who was going to meet me, and we agreed that she would be there, so I had my driver drop me off. It was pouring rain, and no answer at the apartment. I waited 20 minutes in the pouring rain (I was completely soaked, as were my bags) when the person arrived (late because she had a "problem with the keys.") I requested NOT to be charged the 35euro late fee, but Francesca was extremely inflexible. It was a rather frustrating beginning.
Positives: Fantastic location. Nice building. Extremely quiet, and the bed was so comfortable! There wasn't a coffee pot there, and Francesca responded immediately and brought one over (in fact she brought 2!). The apartment is very spacious, with a very comfortable couch. I cooked quite a bit, and although the kitchen is tiny (the refrigerator reminded me of a dorm fridge 1/2 size), everything functioned well. The heat worked very well!
Not So Positive: Strange entryway shared with another apartment, which reminded me of 'senior housing.' And as others have mentioned, a rather unconventional floor plan, with one bedroom leading into the next (although I was alone, so it didn't matter to me). There was a heavy Victorian kind of feel, both in the entry and in the apartment (heavy draperies, furniture...). And it's quite dim. I prefer a sunny place. Toilets were so badly stained, I actually recoiled the first time I saw them. There were no cleaning products-no dish soap, no paper towels, a filthy sponge. Every other apartment I've stayed in has included these small things.
