We stayed in this apartment for 2 weeks in late February/early March and it worked very well. Location is terrific, we walked everywhere. Quality eating and food shopping very close. Yes there are lots of stairs up, if you have difficulty or travel heavy it may not be a good choice. The room has great light and two terraces are pleasurable. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Some days a rather bad smell comes up from pipes in shower, we aired out by closing door and opening window-worked ok. We had unexpected disruption from demolition of an apartment below which the hosts handled graciously. Thank you!
