Let me break it down into a list of pros and cons. Pros: the location is great if you want to be slightly off the beaten path of the touristy areas but convenient enough to walk to those areas. It is close to the bus line but not so close to the subway if that matters. Place had a washer and a small courtyard to hang things on a rack. There was a small kitchen but not for anyone who really wants to do any type of cooking, just maybe have breakfast and coffee. It really was a rustic quirky place which was fun. I felt very safe. The little backyard area was nice too. There was an ironing board which came in handy. Plenty of hot water but I was traveling solo. It was quiet. Thomas, my contact was friendly and responsive when I contacted him. He helped me carry my suitcase down the many stairs. If you have a large suitcase and traveling alone the stairs may be a challenge but I was able to manage it.
Cons: the cleaning. There were scuff marks on the walls And other stains or spills. The cloth headboard was clearly dirty. The towel I received had black stains which were replaced the next day. There was a bit of a musty smell in the unit but not enough to make a difference.
