If you are looking for a spot with Roma Norte charm, this is the place. The decor is awesome, Pedro at the front gate is super friendly, and you cannot beat the location walking distance to everything. We really enjoyed the apartment’s private terrace and high ceilings.
Sam is a super communicative host, we had a couple of last minute requests he was very accommodating of.
For downsides, I will reiterate what others have said - the steep and many stairs, which I recommend to pack small suitcase otherwise it is difficult to carry upstairs. And the heat rises to upstairs, so the bedroom is quite warm during the day. it helps to keep the curtains shut and patio door open, but that also invites ants inside.
Otherwise, I’d highly recommend to someone wanting to truly get that Roma Norte experience!
