I stayed in the room without a loft, even though I booked the one with the loft. However, I liked not having the loft as I could use the bed as a couch with out climbing a lot of steps! (The host has 2 apartments beside each other) The ceiling in the main room is very high, like 15 feet, which makes the room feel large. The doors open up to a nice garden, very nice in the morning! The apartment has a/c but we didn't really use it much in the beginning of June. The bathroom wasn't too clean, but it was ok. The apartment is located centrally, with a minimart on the corner where you can buy your bus tickets. There is a sign on the wall listing good food spots and other stores nearby, the gelato recommendation was very good! We didn't see the host, but an older woman who is the neighbor let us in and showed us around. We were going to leave later so we asked the host if we could leave our backpacks inside of the apartment outside of checkout time, he offered us the option to leave them in the inner hallway outside of the apartment, which was very kind. In the end we didn't do this as we took an earlier train. All in all, this was a very enjoyable stay.
