We only came and went once per day, so the very steep hill and many flights of stairs were not overwhelming. It was rough getting used to the low ceilings in the attic space. Backs and necks were hurting after a while. Laundry machine worked well (such a great feature) and neighborhood was very charming once we had our bearings and did some off the beaten path exploring. Alev does smoke in the home. That would have been a deal breaker had we known before booking. It seemed too much trouble to find something else, so we stayed the 3 nights we had planned. Alev was lovely, helpful and charming.
