We would rate this apartment 5 stars, except for the construction currently going on below the apartment. Otherwise we really enjoyed the apartment. The apartment is more spacious than photos show and includes a desk/workstation. The balcony is great! Very large, and lined with potted plants. You are a story/floor above neighbors across the street so it feels quite private. Even in December we were able to sit outside most days. 66 steps up to the apartment is just enough to make you feel like you got a tiny workout, but not so much that it feels burdensome. The building itself is quiet. Note that the washer and dryer are on the ground floor and is shared. There is a small grocery store and a nice bakery about one block away. You can walk to the Cathedral in less than 5 minutes and can see the cathedral spire from the balcony. It’s exceptionally pretty when lit up at night. Our host and her husband were very responsive!
