Convenient and comfortable place in the old town area. This is a separate apartment (locked door to hall with private kitchen, bath, bedroom, and living room). The bed was especially comfortable and the A/C helped cut down on the heat and humidity. There was a bit of apartment noise (someone watching TV with the windows open), but no street noise and at night it was extremely quiet (except for the church bells on the quarter hour!). This is definitely an "old-world" experience with modern appliances in an old building (150 years?). The apartment is up five flights of narrow winding stairs, so be prepared for a workout if you are carrying a 50-lb suitcase! The location is steps from the subway and was extremely convenient for my week-long business trip. The host communicated well and the check-in process was very convenient (he has an art shop in the building!). I'd love to stay again....
