The flat seems recently redone. The appliances and plumbing fixtures look new as does the laminate and tile flooring. The TV and Wifi worked well. There is a laundry hookup but no machine. The host, Jacque, was a good host.

Guests should be aware that there are winding stairs to the unit, 24 steps and several landings. The door to the flat has a high security lock that is hard to work. The flat would be hazardous in case of fire. The flat has several rooms and doorways are narrow. There are no smoke detectors or emergency lights and no fire escape. The difficult door lock and stairs could be bad in an emergency.

The location has advantages and disadvantages. It is close to transportation and some attractions but the neighborhood is sketchy. The buzzer box on the outside of the building caused frequent distractions as people buzzed the flat, presumably trying to get into the building.

The exterior of the building and stairs to the flat look rough but the interior of the flat is appealing and functional. The safety issues world prevent me from booking another stay here.
