Maria and her staff are wonderful and warm. The location is very central and near many shops and restaurants. The view from the room is quite spectacular as well.
However, the accommodations left a lot to be desired. Because the building is quite old, the floors are incredibly creaky and loud. So much so that whenever someone walks by the room you feel the floorboards move under the bed. For a big space with lots of people coming and going at all hours, it obviously makes it difficult to get a full night of peaceful sleep.
Second, the layout in terms of the kitchen/bathroom/shower is a bit awkward and as a short term traveler it does not feel comfortable or relaxing.
Finally, during our stay there was a wedding outside of our room on the terrace and an after party below with music blasting until 2am. This is something that we should have been informed of before we completed the booking (we would not have booked had we known this would occur).
