The location was wonderful--within walking distance to the major tourist sites, with many restaurants and shops nearby. Having three bathrooms was great, and the beds were fine. One caveat: the upstairs mezzanine level is stuffy, with charming but low beamed ceilings.

Overall, the apartment was fine. However, we had some major communication issues with Sid. Before I booked the stay, he was extremely prompt in replying to questions. So I was really surprised when I messaged Sid for check-in instructions and he didn't respond for 10 days!

With no word from Sid, I was forced to contact Airbnb, who also had trouble reaching him. When Sid finally responded, he never apologized or explained why he didn't reply. I was relieved to finally hear from him, and luckily we were able to stay at the flat.
