We loved staying in the apartment with it’s on-street access. It was very conveniently located to points of interest and easy to navigate from/to most places on foot. We were able to use it’s close proximity to the river as a way to always know which direction to head. The host left us a great map with great recommendations on places to eat/visit. There are plenty of nearby places to earth and we quickly got our bearings and had a couple of ‘favorite’ places to eat.
The apartment is up several flights of stairs before you enter it and then another flight inside to get to the bedroom and bathrooms. We are a mid-fifties aged couple and were able to easily navigate those stairs, but just be aware in case you have any mobility issues.
As others have stated - if traveling in summer time - keep your bedroom door closed to keep it cool enough at night. There are 2 air conditioning units. One upstairs inside the bedroom and one downstairs just inside the door. We were there in the hottest time of year, but were comfortably cool. Tip on the bathroom outside of the bedroom...just open the skylight to allow the hot air out. We didn’t need to use that bathroom because there were just the two of us. However, if you need to use it, it will get hot quickly if you don’t have the skylight open. (Just remember to close it before you leave the apartment.)
We never cooked anything while we were there, so I can’t really speak to anything regarding the kitchen with the exception of the refrigerator. We loved having a place to pop drinks in and wine. Just tend to the ice tray often, and you’ll always have ice for your beverages.
Everything went very smoothly and we never had to contact the host. But, there does seem to be an issue with 2 people taking showers back-to-back. At least with regards to the hot water. We just took showers farther apart and that worked fine. The hot water would seem to cut in and out if you were the 2nd person to shower right after the other person. It was truly not that big of a deal to us, as we just worked around that.
The welcome bottle of wine was a nice touch and we happily enjoyed it! I would recommend this apartment without hesitation as long as you read the reviews and are aware of the stair situation. I do think it is best suited for just 2 people.
