We loved the location of this apt. Maria was very nice at check-in. The stairs going up to the first level were steep and short (think Dutch stairs!), but it was not a problem. It was also sooo nice to have two bathrooms! And the little desk for our laptops was wonderful as the tall windows to your right (as you sit at the desk) look out onto the quaint, old neighborhood. In the late afternoon, opening the windows by the desk and then opening the windows at the other end of the apt. provided a delightful breeze - which was needed as it was in the 90's F during our 4 days there. Which brings me to the only negative: there is a plastic mattress cover on the bed and when you sweat, which you will when it is THAT hot (no a/c), the sweat has nowhere to go as the plastic mattress cover blocks the sweat, and you just sweat more and you stick to the sheets, etc. - so we did not enjoy a sound sleep due to that fact. I have suggested that they replace that plastic mattress cover with a natural fiber one and perhaps provide a "summer" blanket and save the heavier duvet for cooler temperatures.
