The apartment could not be better located for exploring the city. There are tonnes of bars and restaurants within a few steps of the front door, a little shop next door for essentials (wine, cheese etc!) and it’s only a short walk to the metro and train stations. We were worried it might be noisy as it is so central but once you are in the apartment you are so high up it is extremely quiet.
Communication with the hosts was excellent. We received a guide to the city and contact details before we travelled. We had a contact (Lara) to ring on our arrival and she met us at the flat and showed us around. She was friendly, helpful and accommodating and pointed out places of interest we could see from the terrace and gave us restaurant recommendations. The apartment is small but plenty big enough for 2 people and well appointed with everything you need. We stayed in early March so it was quite cold but extra bedding and portable heaters were supplied. Comfy bed, good quality linen and a great shower, what more do you need?!
Not recommended if you are scared of heights or exercise as the apartment is up 4 flights of very steep, narrow stairs and there are more stairs up to the bed platform and the terrace, but it’s totally worth the effort as the view from every window is stunning. We mainly booked this apartment for the roof terrace and were not disappointed, it was the perfect spot for enjoying the sunset before heading out.
