The view is incredible and the space is really nicely decorated, as per pictures. Aureol (and Tak) was a gracious and very professional host that made every effort to make us comfortable. The location is superb, a rare find that will provide you with a unique and inspiring view each day. Local spots are really close by, and Aureol made sure we knew where the best ones were. That's the good.
The not-so-good. The apartment is at the top of 70+ stairs. This seriously hampers one's enjoyment of the space, especially if you're a bit older. If you forgot something, it's a mountain to climb, as a result we elected to spend the whole day out of the space just to avoid the climb - which is a bit sad since that view is amazing. The beds are incorrectly stated as King and Double, both beds were far too small for a property in this price bracket.The apartment is hot, really hot. Fortunately we had unseasonably cold weather during our stay otherwise this would be awful. There were fans in the rooms, but no top sheets, we sweated in tiny beds. The water pressure in the second bedroom (shower) was dismal, hopefully that can be fixed.
If it's not clear from the listing, the space is above 2 other units which, if fully occupied, does impact one's sense of privacy and freedom. You can hear voices through floor boards and I'm sure the people below could hear us too.
In conclusion, if you know what you're in for - this space is really one-of-a-kind and I have no doubt that you will enjoy your experience here. For us, it was a little disappointing because we were not expecting the extremely steep staircase and the small beds. We still had a memorable time, but probably wont be back to this property again.
