The apartment has been refurbished and is charming, although the upstairs loft and bedroom have low ceilings. If you're nearly 6' tall, you'll have to stoop while in the bedroom and bathroom. The downstairs living area was quite cold because the temperature there never reached 17 degrees. On the other hand, the upstairs heaters worked well. This apartment wouldn't be suitable for families with small kids, or those who have mobility or heart issues, as the 7 flights of stairs to reach the apartment are steep and narrow. However, it could be a romantic getaway for young couples.
