It was an expected and unexpected treasure. The windows open up onto an amazing view with sounds of the square below, however the apartment is very quiet with the windows closed. The elevator up to the 3rd floor worked wonderfully well and was very convenient. The rooms were beautiful, with a sunken living and separate dining room. Both bathrooms are good sized, there were plenty of towels, and the water pressure was great. The beds and furniture were comfortable, and the apartment was spacious, and very nicely decorated.
