The schtick for this apartment is that it is old. So the presentation showcases this and does it well. The flip side is things are not always in the best of repair. In fact the place was exceptionally clean, especially given how hard this is to achieve with this kind of fitout. EVerything was functional. All the kitchen basics were present and the linens were ok.
Estelle made intensive efforts to contact us early, which, frustratingly we were not able to respond effectively to, but this was a special circumstance of our service provider.
The apartment has a lot of rules, but I found all of them entirely reasonable, describing the way I would have behaved in that apartment anyway.
Our major difficulty was with the noise and the heat on a hot day. I certainly wouldn't stay there in mid summer. We didn't ask for a fan, which would have been effective and I'm sure would have been provided had we asked.
