This is a very small but very clean, modern efficiency apartment on the ground and first floor on a mostly quiet street but is very close to other very busy and lively neighborhoods. Upon entering the building you have to walk up to the second floor where the kitchen, living room, and bathroom are located. Then you have to walk back down to the ground floor where the bedroom is located. It's bit inconvenient when carrying luggage into and out of the apartment. The first floor area is very compact and lacks storage for non refrigerated food items you may want to store so everything gets put on the counter which is also acts as the dining table or gets put into a wall cabinet in the living room where wine glasses and a first aid kit is located. The kitchen/dining area is strictly for only one person while cooking.
We chose this apartment over others in this price range because it included a washing machine and air conditioning units and we were using the apartment for two weeks in late June/early July. These appliances worked well for us.
Host generously provided some nice gifts at check-in including a bottle of port, cookies, chocolate, and large bottle of water. The host proved to be very responsive before and during our stay.
The kitchen contains a 800 watt microwave but no oven. The stove is a 2 burner electric unit. The refrigerator is an under counter unit. Other appliances such as toaster, expresso machine, French press, and hot water heater are also included. The clothes washing machine is also in the kitchen.
Apartment included some useful consumables including salt, and some coffee and tea but no pepper, cooking oil, or sugar. Shampoo and shower gel were provided in two each hotel size containers. Not sure if it was enough for 2 people staying a week as we brought our own. Two very small hotel size bar soap were also included.
Several various size pots are available with lids. One medium size frying pan provided with no cover. Enough plates and glasses were provided for 2 people.
Internet was great during our stay.
