The hosts provided a bottle of wine and coffee as welcome gifts and were helpful with suggestions for places to go for grocery items.
Nicely decorated apartment but the photos have been adjusted to make rooms appear larger than they are. There was no need for this deception because both bedrooms are a nice size with ample storage space and space to move about and be very comfortable. Unfortunately, the bedrooms are both on the side of the apartment that is on a very busy street so it is noisy in the night due to this being in close proximity to night life. The windows in the bedrooms probably need to be updated or replaced with better sound protection because it’s almost as if they are open when they are not. You can here anything and everything that goes on in the street, late night party goers passing through (until 3am the first night) mopeds and cars zooming by, city busses traveling on this street and early morning delivery trucks.
The bathrooms are especially small with full sized shower and toilet but tiny sinks and limited space to move around. We are a couple married for 27 years on vacation. Even though the apartment is a two bedroom two bath, the hosts only stocked one bathroom with toilet paper because they assumed we would only be using one bedroom and one bathroom, which my husband and I do not. Even in everyday life we do not share and this has made for a happy and successful marriage. Both towel sets were placed in one bedroom and there was no extra toilet paper found anywhere for the second bathroom. When we inquired, the host told us that only one bathroom was stocked because we are a couple. I went to the store the first night for toilet paper but it was too late and the store was closed. The host brought toilet paper the next morning. If a guest has paid for a two bed two bath apartment, all of the rooms should be prepped and ready for their use, whether or not they are a couple. It is what they paid for. If we wanted to share we could easily have chosen a one bedroom one bathroom apartment for less money, elsewhere. We purposely chose, paid for and expected the full use of a two bedroom two bathroom apartment.
The terrace is nicely done and is on a much quieter street, however it is smaller than the photos make it appear and it is not private. You will have it all to yourself but it is on the main floor of an apartment building so there are many neighbors above you, hanging out at their windows, looking down at you, hanging laundry, etc. This is unfortunate because were it not for this and also the older gentleman that was hanging out of his window constantly observing us while coughing and making other gross noises (which I understand he cannot help and it is his right to do so in his home) and other neighbors just going about their day enjoying the views and fresh air at their windows (as of course they should) this would have been a nice place to hang out and relax. So it is private in the sense that you do not share it with anyone else, but not private at all if you are looking for privacy.
