Overall the home is clean, has beautiful original features including original floor tiles, shutters and wood ceiling beams. The rooftop view is incredible. Yes there is a narrow spiral staircase that’s difficult for someone with mobility issues but it’s well worth it.
Things we have suggested the host improve: there is no air con in the living room only in the bedrooms. The rooms were comfortable to sleep in at night however with our group we found we could not be together in the living room as it was honestly like a sauna.
There were no tea or coffee facilities. There was a tiny bit of instant coffee. There was a stove coffee maker however it was broken with water spilling out.
The drains in the shower were blocked and water quickly filled the base.
Be aware of parking for those renting a car as parking is very very difficult. The parking close to the townhouse is all permit parking. We had to park quite far (7 min walk) up a steep hill. It was challenging especially with luggage. Just be prepared to be patient with parking.
Other people have written about noises in the morning however we did experience this.
The ground floor bedroom is very dark and the window shutters do not open. You’re completely in the dark during the day with no natural light.
We have provided this feedback to the owner so hopefully they are taken into account.
Apart from that the location is perfect close to wine bars and restaurants, the main square and a cathedral.
