Sofia was a great, responsive host - faultless, and very reassuring. But the flat was incredibly noisy - with two cafés below. We had read this in reviews, but thought it due to stays in the summertime. We stayed in November and did not open the windows, yet the voices were as if the people down below were in the flat! The insulation in the flat is non-existent - not just for the noise, but for the temperature. The warmth went through the windows (and it must be converse in the summer!).

The shower was not very clean, and the shower door was broken. The TV was brand new, but not set up to receive TV channels (shame, during the World Cup!). My friend found the pillows smelt - and could benefit from being changed, and having pillow protectors. A full-length mirror would have been a welcome addition.
We had a very good weekend, and the price of the flat was correct. Sofia was very attentive and reactive to our questions. But we would not choose to stay there again.
