Sadly the beauty of this well located apartment and its charming views was diminished by the shoddy state of the furnishings (stained, tattered and run down), very limited lighting (fairly dark in the living area – impossible to read a book; one of the few lamps was not working), the terrible children’s bed in the second bedroom (creaking frame – broken?, poky springs in mattress), dated heaters (dirty, full of fluff and dust ) that blew out stuffy warm air.
Otherwise, the host Thomas seems amicable; Lorenzo the local contact was very nice and helpful.
