If I were booking again, I would want to be aware that although the place is advertised as rustic and "shabby chic," there was a little more shabbiness than I would have liked. If a bit more upkeep was put into the space, and more attention to detail, it could be a completely wonderful, charming apartment. The issues of did not make it a totally unpleasant experience overall, but all of the details put together left me a bit disappointed.
CONS: The shower had duct tape and visible foam insulation on the window. When we arrived the sliding door was off its track and caused the bathroom floor to get very wet. I ended up fixing it myself. For some reason, for half of our stay, the bathroom had a very strong sewage smell that was off-putting to say the least. There was a quilt covering the sofa in the common space, and it had a visible old stain and perhaps a fresh mark from the last guest. Although there was technically body wash and shampoo on the premises it did not meet my expectations. There were not set out, but rather in the cleaning closet, and what was there was a very low quality 2-in-1 shampoo/body wash and we ended up going out and getting our own. If we had known that's what was offered we could have planned accordingly and packed our own. The utensils in the kitchen were quite old and dingy, and I wasn't enthused about using them. In fact, the wine opener was broken and took some effort to use successfully.
PROS: Very convenient and safe location. A truly delightful amount of natural light throughout the house. Ana was very helpful in letting us know some good places to explore. The apartment had an elevator we could use rather than going up 4 flights of stairs after a long day of sightseeing. The bed was comfy and there were plenty of blankets and pillows available.
