Many people have mentioned the narrow stairs, so we were prepared for them. If you have a suitcase bigger than a standard carry-on, you may have trouble with your bag.
The amount of space in the flat is great, but the kitchen and bathroom space are quite tight. We are a small-framed family so we were ok, but if you’re above average in height or weight, you may find the bathroom in particular too tight for your liking. Also, the fridge and stove are right next to the bathroom door, so be careful if you are cooking or opening the fridge while someone else is using the bathroom, as someone could get hurt.
The neighborhood has lots of great restaurants and shops, and a pop-up market showed up one street over while we were there. Despite the lively neighborhood, it was quiet for sleeping as there were no restaurants on the same block as the flat.
And finally, there are some items in need of repair/replacement and the place as a whole could use a makeover. There were empty boxes, someone else’s shoes, and a general sense of untidiness/uncleanliness about the place. Many of the lovely Spanish tiles in the kitchen were broken and coming up to the point of being dangerous. The back patio is raggedy looking with dead plants and the door handle accessing it is broken (a string was tied to a metal loop to pull it closed). The towels are worn and need replacing. There were small mats in the kitchen, bath and bedroom that were very poor quality and should be replaced with better/more durable mats. There is a thermostat and mention of air conditioning, but I’m not convinced that there is a functioning air conditioner. (Note that I did not reach out to the owner about it as it cooled off while we were there and the fans provided were sufficient, so I can’t say for certain that there is no air conditioning.)
In short, the owner really need to reinvest in some repairs and upgrades to this place.
