Paul's communication was excellent. He answered the few questions I had asked within a day. The apartment appeared as pictured. The toilet room and shower room were very small, but considering the location of the apartment, I would expect the same in the center of any popular city. The building is very old as are most of the buildings in the center of old town and could use a little updating but I found it to be perfectly acceptable. I would recommend this apartment to any friend. I used the sofa bed in the living room which, although quite new, appeared to have a substandard mattress. After using it, I am pleased to report that it was comfortable and served its purpose.
