This was one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever stayed in. The bedroom is enormous and cozy. The sheets are soft and the pillows are great - they don't deflate when you lie on them. Love the creak in the wood floors. The large atrium is wonderful to do some writing or reading in. The shutters over the windows block out light nicely. There is street noise, but that happens in a city, and unless there's an event, it's not bad. The attention to detail in the apartment is spot-on and you really feel like you're back in time. Take a picture in the antique elevator downstairs and if you're vegan (even if you're not) go to Vegamo - great restaurant and friendly service. Would stay here again if back in the city. Highly recommend!
