Andrea was sweet during check-in and helped us with our luggage into the apartment. The AC works and is in every room except the foyer where one person or couple can sleep. The balcony is and location really make this apartment.
But I'll be upfront and say that I have more complaints than compliments.
The apartment is in an old beautiful building and it seems to have been made from dividing one family-sized apartment into two smaller halves. There are twice as many doors and light switches than rooms to be in. Which can be useful for keeping out noise but also makes the apartment feel a little cramped.
The kitchen is terrible. It's really a glorified coffee station with two tiny burners that are impossible to use simultaneously. If you're two people heating up something simple then perhaps this is fine for you but given the size of the apartment, I imagine you're more likely a larger group like we were. We found the dishes oily or burnt in some places and had to clean everything before preparing any food. And there isn't really any surface to use for food prep. We struggled through making even basic things but we persevered in the end more due to our persistence and creativity than to the resources at hand. Also if you cook in the small space, be mindful that two people will be sleeping 1 meter away on the couch.
The couch by the way does expand to sleep two but one side is hard and one completely soft so if you're the type of person that doesn't enjoy sleeping in a hammock then I recommend only having one person on this couch.
My last complaint was that we received very few towels. Barely one per person. And two were found dirty. While Andrea was responsive about and promised to bring more, it was two days before they arrived.
The general gist is this -> if you want a centrally located spot to mostly sleep in or have coffee in, this is your spot. The balcony is fantastic and covers the whole roof of the adjacent building. But if you want an actual apartment to use and one that isn't managed by a company that has scores of other locations, then I cannot highly recommend this spot.
