I have many many positive things to say about Jose and his apartment. Jose and his colleague Yulia were great at responding to messages. Jose was very understanding when it looked as if I might need to cancel the booking at the last minute because of UK travel restrictions. Fortunately I didn’t need to. Check-in couldn’t have been easier.
The apartment is large, light and spacious with lovely views and a wonderful sunny terrace. The building itself is very quiet although it’s true that the cathedral bells, particularly on Sundays are loud.. We didn’t mind this at all because the sound they make is beautiful. The lovely old building opposite is being renovated and the builders start work at 8am but such is life!
The location could not have been better, bang in the middle of the old town with the main sights , cafes, restaurants and other amenities all within easy walking distance. The apartment is on three floors. Other reviewers have mentioned the stairs but these are not steep and are easy to climb. The apartment and location feel very safe.
In a spirt of honesty there are a few things that could do with updating - the kitchen work surface beside the sink, some of the grouting in the bathroom and the toilet flush (which came off in our hands) but everything works. Apart from the fact there were only two wine glasses the kitchen is well equipped and is a nice place to cook and eat. We cooked most days. The water pressure in the kitchen is not very strong but the walk-in shower is great and is very powerful. The beds are comfortable and the bed linen and towels are fresh and new. Did I mention that the terrace is out of this world in the morning, afternoon, evening and at night!
I would recommend the apartment and hope to return later this year.
