My family of 6 (4 adult children and 2 parents) really enjoyed staying here! The apartment gave my family a chance to experience the kind of European apartment with high ceilings, high windows, those older solid wood shutters, + efficient built-in storage-- a mix of modern with traditional. The place reminded me of the apartment I lived in with a host family in Florence as a student, and it has so much more character than a hotel or ordinary American apartment.
-The location is fantastic. Cabs are easy to catch, and Metro is nearby.
-Mat gives guests a binder of recommended places to eat that is very helpful. He also told us about a tapas restaurant a few steps away that gives you a lot of bang for your buck. It's called Vinitus. (Show up early, or else you'll have to wait forever.)
-The photos do make the living room seem more spacious, but there is still enough room for 6 adults. It wasn't a problem.
-The building has one elevator. If you need to bring a wheelchair along, the elevator can fit 1-2 people and a folded-up wheelchair.
-The stairs aren't bad at all, but the unit is on the 2nd floor of a building in which the 2nd floor is the 4th floor by the American way of counting.
Book this place! The host and the apartment are wonderful.
