This is a very modern, clean apartment. Maria does a lot to ensure you have all you need, with maps, a bit of port wine, and very good communication. I saw some confusion in other reviews about the stairs. I think what Americans might not understand is that in Europe the bottom level is usually Floor 0, so Maria's description of the elevator beginning at Floor 1 is accurate. For a family of 5 the space is a little tight. Plenty of room for comfortable sleeping, but not a lot of room to spread out. However, from a value perspective, this is exactly what we were looking for and fit our needs perfectly.
