There really isn’t enough nice things I could say about this apartment! Simone went above and beyond as a host. Since we arrived before check in, Simone kindly allowed us to leave our suitcases in the building while we went out for some food. The neighborhood is amazing! Its near everything you'd need. It's right off of a main street full of shops and restaurants and cafes. You really can get everything you need within a few minutes walk. Two of the bedrooms actually look out on the main street. At one point, some men started playing the accordion which was so cute! However the best part is that if you close the windows completely you can't hear any of the noise from outside.
The apartment is absolutely gorgeous! It is even nicer than the pictures if that’s possible. Simone provided a welcome basket with coffee, tea, croissants, crackers and cold water in the fridge, which was so thoughtful. The central air conditioning was amazing and wonderful. We were there during a heat wave and it literally saved us from melting! The amenities were fantastic as well. The washing machine worked perfectly. There were plenty of towels, soap, shampoos and toilet paper. There are plenty of extra pillows and blankets in the closet. The whole apartment is tastefully decorated, chic and super clean. The beds are so so comfortable. We were 6 people but we never felt cramped because the apartment is really spacious! We felt like we were in a hotel but nicer and homier.
All in all, Simone is a fantastic host, really warm and friendly. you're definitely getting more than what you paid for when you stay here!!
