The apartment is GORGEOUS!!! The beds are simply marvelous to sleep in. We all appreciated the exquisite decor and the enormous historical value of the property, not to mention the great location. Big thanks to your chef for the most amazing breakfast. Reason enough to come back! :D
Adored the Rituals toiletries.
We experienced some disturbing party noise from the neighbors at the back of the property. Hot night for our friend staying in the single bedroom since it was not possible to sleep with the windows open due to noise. With the door to the bathroom shut to muffle the noise, and once the door to the master was closed, there was no way to ventilate the single bedroom. The small portable fans did not work properly. One did not function at all and the other made a very loud high-pitched noise. As a result, my husband and I had to donate the small column ventilator in our room to our friend just so she could survive the night heat, and we had to relinquish our privacy as we had to sleep with our door open in order for her to benefit from some fresh air coming in through our window. We tried opening the small window in the single room but it was not possible.
Also, it is not clear from the description of the apartment, that not both bedrooms are self-contained and completely private. In the case of the single room, anyone staying in the master, and needing to use the bathroom must inevitably disturb whoever's staying in the single as you walk through to get to the bathroom and back.
The addition of a full-length mirror, an espresso machine, and a dustbin in the master would be greatly appreciated.
Awesome to have a mini fridge in there, but sad to find it empty. A cold bottle of water would have been amazing, especially when arriving on a hot night and hauling luggage up the stairs.
Of course, one might expect that a historical building might not necessarily have an elevator.
Thank you infinitely for storing our luggage overnight! Our only regret was the shortness of our stay. Can't wait to visit again, and explore what is obviously a fascinating neighborhood.
Many thanks,
Michelle.
