Simone allowed us to check in sooner than the indicated time, and we really appreciated it bc we were coming from a red-eye flight. She was there to meet us. The place is a bit more ascetic than I expected from the pictures, but it is clean and I believe the balcony is amazing during warmer months. In November we had to turn on the heat, as it is cold in the apartment even if it is quite warm outside. In general, we had a comfortable stay. The location is great, it is quiet, but there are plenty of stores and restaurants right around the block. It is also close to the center and you can walk everywhere.
Overall, we would recommend the place and the host.
