This apartment was absolutely stunning and the host Marta was genuinely friendly and helpful. The place is not big at all for a family of four, but we were surprised how practical the design of the apartment was and we did not feel squeezed or crowded at all during our stay.

The inside of the apartment was remarkable - it was almost like a model home. The choice of furniture, the decor, the windows, the walk in closet, the bed sheets, the pillows and cushions all have a marvelous touch of elegance and they all mash so well together. The amazing thing is that it is spotless and squeaky clean everywhere. All the hardware (hot water, washer/dryer, stove, air conditioning) worked perfect. There were two remote controls for the air conditioning and it was absolutely convenient. The washer/dryer was so compact, so quiet and yet worked wonders. The kitchen was well stocked, not only with cookware and cutleries, but cooking oil and some basic seasoning. We felt like home the minute we stepped into the apartment.

The location of the apartment was great - there was a good-sized supermarket across the street from the apartment, and many other convenience stores and restaurants all within a few minutes of walking.

The apartment looked a bit old from the outside, but the common area is kept very clean and well maintained. The neighborhood was busy and we felt safe walking in and out of the apartment and in the neighborhood even late at night (we sometimes came home around 10:30-11 after a late dinner).

Marta couldn’t meet us to give us the key the first day but made arrangements with someone else to give us the key. She provided us all the key details about the house through emails and we were fine settling in the first day. On the last day, Marta came by the apartment to pick up something, and we had a chance to talk to her. She was very pleasant and friendly, and she was willing to spend time helping us talk on the phone with the Orange network representatives whom we had trouble with about our SIM card. And the piece of advice that Marta gave us about taking a cab to the airport - that we should not pay more than 30 Euros worked like a charm.

Overall, the extremely elegant, clean and well kept interior and the friendliness of Marta made our stay a wonderful and memorable one. We highly recommend the apartment to anyone.
