The historic area is very central, fun and a great spot to explore town.
The apartment is located in the heart of the historic district on the 2nd floor orca historic house with several units. The entrance to the apartment opens to the living room. The room features two chairs and a pull out couch as well as a cabinet and some nice art. We loved the old tile as well as the rustic door and shutters. The couch has been used by guests for a while.
The dining area and kitchen are newly furnished and work well.,
The three bedrooms are connected to one another. They can be reached by walking from one room to the next. The last bedroom has a small window close to the ceiling but no standard window The bedrooms are each approximately 5×9 feet or 5x12 ft. We did not have space to open and leave our carry-on luggage in the bedrooms which forced us to have the suitcases in the living room. Two of the three bedrooms have closets.
One smaller bathroom is off the dining area. The other bathroom is at the end of the chain bedrooms. A small courtyard is great for breakfast and connects the bathroom and the kitchen which gave us the opportunity to use the shortcut to the third bedroom.
The apartment was overall quite clean. When we arrived two wet,used towels we’re still hanging in the bathroom. It was not a huge issue as we just washed them in the washer provided after we found some detergent at the local store.
We arrived early evening. We were met by one of the caretakers. They use pre-fab text for standard communication which is very kind. But when we asked for extra sheets or laundry detergent communication was always prompt, but a little edgy.
We stayed at the house with our teenage children which made it possible to make this small space work for 5. Staying here with friends or other couples might be a challenge as the bedroom set up restricts privacy.
The front room has a pull out couch. Sleeping here is rough as the neighbors upstairs seem to be up at all hours of day making the chandelier sweet above us. Also, noise from tourists on the street til midnight and starting again at 7 am echos up through the streets. The famous streetcar 28 is easily reached from the apartment as the line runs three doors down from the apartment.
The host can be reached very swiftly through WhatsApp or the airbnb message option. The pre-written communication is very precise and polite. Communication beyond that side can be a little less accommodating.
