Helena is a wonderful host. She was always quick to respond, and she included so many personal touches to the beautiful apartment (fresh flowers, candles, chocolates, coffee, etc.). I was there over Christmas with four young adults (my three kids and my niece). There was plenty of room for all of us and we spent a lot of really wonderful quality time together in common spaces that we would never have been able to enjoy had we opted for a hotel. We felt truly welcome and were very comfortable. In particular we enjoyed the convenient location (the apartment is close to the market, shops, restaurants, pubs, etc.) and the authentic charm of the apartment itself. It is as pictured--very quaint and historic, but also charming and cozy. I highly recommend this place for adults, and for families with older kids (stairs may make it a bit tricky for older guests or toddlers). Also--just a note--there is a bell tower right by the apartment which may (or may not) disturb your sleep. It was really no big deal for us--I just wanted to mention it in case someone is very sound sensitive. It shouldn't be a deal breaker at all--just bring some inexpensive ear plugs and you'll be fine!
