I had an interesting month-long stay at this apartment, with both positives and negatives. The location is excellent, on a quiet street with ample grocery shopping within just a few blocks. There is a traditional market perfect for getting meat and fish, fruit and vegetable shops on nearly every block, and standard supermarkets in every direction. The building is generally quiet, with the exception of some construction that began on the ground floor shortly before the end of my stay which created daytime noise.
The apartment is on the top floor, and there is an elevator. However, it is not a good apartment for someone with mobility issues or poor coordination. The stairs from the living area up to the bedroom narrow halfway up and have two separate sections of railing. It is difficult to negotiate in the dark (the bathroom is on the lower level) or without concentrating.
The apartment is thoughtfully decorated in a distinctive style. An enormous amount of attention has been given to the space; even after weeks of being there, I was noticing new little details.
My stay was made more difficult by a series of unaddressed maintenance issues. The dishwasher was broken when I arrived and for the duration of my stay. The kitchen sink did not drain when I arrived, so I bought drain cleaner and regularly poured boiling water down it, which fixed the problem. The toilet is constantly running, wasting water and making a trickling sound that can be disturbing at night. Both air conditioners had issues, they pour water all over. The owner did arrange for a repairperson to come and work on one which stopped working entirely. But the AC continued to have problems.
The water heater does not function well. It takes a very long time to get warm water, then it is terribly hot for 30 seconds, then after around one minute of an acceptable temperature it goes ice cold and will not warm up again. The heater also tends to cycle on and off endlessly. I had to leave it turned off most of the time after it woke me up numerous times by going on and off at night.
The kitchen is well equipped with both essentials and some extras. Some of the dishes were not clean when I arrived. I was able to easily cook meals during my stay.
In sum, I think this place would be best suited to shorter-term stays for a single traveler or a couple. If you are looking for a charming place for a few nights stay, this could do the trick. For longer stays, the style is outweighed by the practical difficulties. If the maintenance issues are addressed, I would be much much more comfortable recommending the apartment.
