The first thing we were surprised by is how small the space is in reality. The pictures made have been taken from angles that definitely make it seem like it is more spacious than what actually is. The other thing is that the space is on the first floor, facing walls on the inside of the building, so there was no such thing as direct sunlight. Since we are a couple, we decided to work with what we had, even extend our stay, cause the place feels did feel homey and had everything we needed.
Luckily there is a lovely terrace on the roof, with such a beautiful view of the old historic centre.
The terrace is huge, has plenty of working space, with plugs, tables and hammocks. Enough sunlight or shadow in case you want to hide from the sun.
During the day it gets quite loud on the rooftop, cause it is almost literally located on a market street.
The communication with the hosts started of strong but from day 4 or so, there were clearly some miscommunications in regards to the wifi. Some backstory: we made the huge mistake to only book a day in advance and went with this place cause it looked like the most suitable option, promising excellent wifi, beautiful rooftop and spacious enough for both of us. Perfect we thought cause we both still depend on projects and work as an income stream to finance our travel, so having excellent wifi is a must. Unfortunately this changed on day 4, the wifi stopped working, the host came over to look into it the next day, because this was a weekend day, the host promised that by Monday it would be fixed. Temporarily we could make use of the wifi from other apartments and the general wifi in the building. Sadly the way the apartment was located non of the other wifi’s would work well in the house. This forced us to already sit on the terrace early in the morning or late at night when the temperatures are still extremely low and unpleasant to work in. We communicated about this for a week back and forth but alas, we were not met. We eventually had to cut our stay short and again last minute find something else.
In short, beautiful homey place, very cozy but extremely small, amazing terrace with wonderful view, but the internet is definitely lacking. If the use of internet/wifi/netflix is not as important to you and you do not mind not having natural daylight coming into the tiny space, than i’d say this place is for you. There is plenty to do, see and taste in the area during the day, at night I would suggest to either stay in or get around by Uber.
