The view from Manuela's place is great. Probably the best thing about the apartment. Outside of that, really underwhelmed by the experience. Being 6'1'' (186 cm), I was able to use maybe 10% of an already small apartment due to it being essentially the building's attic. I constantly feared hitting my head on the beams above (and a few times actually did). My biggest beef, however, is with the shower. First, there was a problem with the boiler (which was fixed right away, Manuela took care of it immediately). But taking a shower in a small bath tub where you have to hold the shower head with one hand was just too much. Water pressure is non-existent, so there are some things you won't be able to achieve.
Bottom line: Manuela is a great owner, the views are awesome, but everything else leaves much to be desired. Next time, I will look for another place.
