Our host was nice, however he arrived 20 minutes later than we had planned. He also informed us that he was, "in a rush" and didn't have a lot of time to go over things (i.e. the washing machine). In addition, the flat is up 91 steps of stairs on very old, winding and steep staircases. The flat is interesting, however if you are over 6 feet tall, you will hit your head all over the place, as the ceiling is low and there are several beams throughout the house. The second floor is up very steep steps, too. I would NOT recommend the second floor for young children. One of the bathrooms has a shower that leaves water all over the place.
