The Apartment was centrally located as we expected. However there are 6 flights of stairs up to the apartment with no lift - quite a mission if you have already been travelling for 2 weeks and have 4 suitcases to lug up the stairs. (the common parts of the building are very badly kept - dirty carpets, broken paneling) - quite horrible!

The apartment is much smaller than the photos express. everything is crammed in to very small rooms. The bedroom is tiny the bathroom and separate toilet also very small. The lounge and kitchen are open plan but you have to move the table to get into the drawers in the kitchen or attempt to cook.

My main issue with the apartment was the roof terrace - the main reason we booked the apartment as we wanted the extra space and outside space with that. The washing machine and dryer are also located there.

Firstly you have to climb up a very dangerous narrow staircase with no rail to get to the skylight window. This then had a very strange electrical system that opened it. ( two diff switches - one downstairs by front door , second on the window itself). We opened it as per the instructions on the first evening we got there to do washing after having been travelling for 2 weeks.

This is when the nightmare started. The window would not close. the electrics were not functioning in it at all. We had to go out to meet friends so we left it partially open. When we got back we phoned to explain the situation to the person looking after the apartment. Eventually they agreed to come out and manually take off the hinges so it would be closed in case it rained. (which it did).

The next day we went to get the washing from the machine, came back tried to close the window and the handle came off. Therefore we notified the owner on the Thursday - the handle was not put back on until the Sunday. The window was physically impossible to open unless you were a professional weight lifter so we gave up, Therefore we didn't get to use the terrace or washing machine for rest of stay. (basically we only used the washing machine one day out 9 - no good).

This really made this Airbnb a complete waste of time for us - we could have stayed in a hotel and had the luxury of linen changes and housekeeping for the stay.

Over all I think the apartment is overpriced for the basic facilities and the really small space it offers.
