Once we found it (gps & cell service was weird), we loved the location of the manor house. It is near to a bridge to Gaia, many of the sights and some great running trails. The primary reason for booking the basement apartment was the garden, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Another bright spot - Claudia's restaurant recommendations - we loved each of them.
Unfortunately there were some downsides - parking was a bit treacherous & there is none associated with the apartment. The height of the ceilings in the bedroom & the TV area were so low that neither my husband nor I could stand up straight. Via other reviews I knew the apartment could be a bit damp, but it was not bad on day 1. This got worse and worse each day, accompanied by a mildew smell. The apartment overhead is quite noisy, so depending on the neighbors you may be fearful that there are elephants above you.
