Yes it are 5 stairs up, but the view on the balcony it really amazing! We had a lovely time sitting there.
The shower is in a very bad state and really need renewed. The apartment is very clean and spacious, nicely decorated.
It was not so friendly that there was no bottle of water in the fridge to drink, or a tea bag in the kitchen for us to make some tea after travelling.
Communication with Ernest before arrival was very good and pleasant.
