A perfectly located apartment. All windows face the building’s courtyard and make the apartment perfectly quiet even though it is located on a major street in a center of the city, few steps away from the nearest T station and even fewer from a supermarket. The inner courtyard is not just a small well but rather a large space among several buildings with a bit of a view onto a nearby church and sun shining into the south facing windows. Some reviewers complained about the church bells disturbing their peace and quiet. We found the bells not loud at all but rather charming, and they also turn off between 2200 and 0600 to get out of the way of a quiet and deep sleep. The small balcony completes the picture.
The interior is of modern design with high quality appliances, clean and welcoming. The host communicated in a timely manner and yet remained invisible during the stay: a great combination.
A few items to note. The apartment is on a 4th floor with no lift. Lugging heavy luggage up the stairs may be challenging for unprepared or lacking stamina. There is very little space for clothing and personal items. Most closet spaces are marked “private” and the space is full of the owner’s belongings. Be prepared to live out of the suitcase. Finally, there were only two small pillows for the large bed. You may want to ask for a couple more if holding your head raised higher is important.
