The apartment itself is absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed all of the little touches and design of the apartment. Paola was very responsive and always got back to me quickly before the check-in and during our stay. The apartment is spacious and well-stocked for a family or just a couple.
While the design of the apartment and the hosts are wonderful, we did have a few challenges with the apartment:
(1) the water pressure was dreadful (we communicated this and unfortunately, it was not able to be fixed before we left) - we were disappointed that we could not take a decent shower nor fill up the bathtub for a bath for our daughter
(2) the wifi in the apartment is not very good - very weak at best - if you only need it for occasionally checking email it might be okay but if you work it might be a challenge - it also only worked for us in the bedroom, not throughout the apartment
(3) while it is not Paola's fault, the apartment is street level and the bedroom window is directly behind a noisy trash pick up area - unfortunately, this happened for us around midnight and 5am most nights and was quite disruptive to sleeping
(4) it might be a mistake on airbnb/google but the location of the apartment is actually about 5 more blocks away from the city center which isn't a big deal for some, however, we were traveling with our 2 year old daughter and we felt misled by the location of the apartment (I do not think it is intentional but maybe a mapping mistake)
Paola and her husband are very kind and very quick to respond to requests. We also loved there is a 24-hour bakery next door and a nice garden area in the flat. If WIFI and water pressure issues are fixed I would consider staying in this apartment again.
