An adequate apartment in an excellent location.
Pros- spacious enough to unpack/repack a bit and included a kitchenette and area to hang laundry (with laundry pods provided—thanks!); superb location right in the middle of everything. Almost every neighborhood we wanted to go to was walkable and there are major attractions just 2-5 mins from this flat; the apartment is decorated nicely.
Cons- the building is VERY old, I felt like I was in the Tenement museum of NYC; The stairwell, while also being unsavory, was narrow, extremely steep (and we are both tall), and towards the top the steps aren’t wide enough for your entire foot. We are young and in good shape but it was a hustle every time to get up the last flight, esp as I was 22 weeks pregnant then. We only had two carryon suitcases and two backpacks which my husband carried— if you have more than that, it would be VERY hard to make it to the penultimate floor where the flat is. Or if you have bad knees or are older. PS, the listing says 5th floor. Just a heads up for fellow Americans, this means 6th floor actually bc Europeans start counting once you are a floor up. What we consider the first floor is considered the 0 floor there.
Also, the bathroom is smaller and the shower when we stayed there had tons of black mildew in the tile grout. So off putting. It also had a plastic shower bottom that kind of gave in as you stepped onto it so it would be easy to slip, just be careful.
Neutral- yes it has 2m ceilings which makes it feel a little like you are in an attic but it’s fine. My husband is 6’2” and had a few inches to spare.
