This room is for you if don’t have a need to connect with the host for any reason beyond the initial booking (which isn’t even a personalized welcome message) and check-in. It’s super cute (albeit small), it's clean, and it’s in an amazing location within 2 blocks of food and other amenities. The hosts provide a very helpful printout of things to do in the area which is very helpful.
This room is NOT for you, however, if you are traveling alone and have luggage, as the 3 sets are stairs are very steep, bordering on dangerous with luggage, and it essentially takes 2 people to help one another navigate the steep stairway with bags. Savvy travelers would do well to request a photo of the stairway before booking.
And this room is definitely NOT for you if you end up having to troubleshoot issues or would like the host to return your messages.
I had booked this for my daughter and friend traveling through Europe. As a caveat, I’ve booked a dozen Airbnb’s these past couple of years in various locales around the world, each receiving a stellar 5-star review from me.

Lack of responsiveness is not a small issue though. Having a responsive host is paramount to a good Airbnb experience, and in fact, responsiveness is the 2nd of 5 Airbnb tenets to good hosting. Iris and Simona did not respond to any of my messages beyond the initial booking and in fact, rather than respond directly to me, their real client and the one who booked and paid for the room!, they screen-captured my messages asking for confirmation that check-in went ok and to inquire about late-check out on the last day, sent them to my daughter with a “please respond to your mother” message. Sadly, it’s not my daughter’s job to respond to me, it’s the host herself because I was her client.
As a lifelong hotelier and hospitality consultant, I find this basic lack of communication and deliberate rudeness appalling. Don’t work in the hospitality industry if you can’t be bothered to be in-service to or communicate with your client beyond taking their money at booking and handing them the keys. Heck, just a basic level of attentiveness or a quick message to acknowledge that she had received the messages and answer simple questions would be an improvement!
The girls reported that the check-in process communication with Simona felt confusing because her instructions weren’t very clear, and her demeanor was patronizing but they couldn’t determine if it was a cultural issue, although they had great experiences with hosts in Portugal, Switzerland and Italy.
Simona also ignored my daughter's queries via WhatsApp once they were situated in the suite. As it turned out, the girls weren’t able to get the TV to work but the host did not reply to their queries about that, and nor did the Wi-Fi work on their last evening. And to scroll down the reviews is to see that the TV hasn’t, in fact, been working for two months, Wi-Fi is obviously spotty, and the host herself apparently lives downstairs, so that’s even more baffling.
The girls also mentioned that they noticed the artistic headboard in the adjacent room, the “Dutch Suites,” had been switched out, which would be unfortunate for anyone booking that suite based on the feature image of the listing (so that image needs to be deleted).
All this said, I was very disappointed in this host and cannot, in good conscience, recommend this property/host to others, despite its ideal location.
