For anybody who desires authentic European travel with all modern conveniences - this place is perfect. I travel internationally for work and I must say the apartment was everything we hoped for and more. Fast wifi, excellent kitchen, historical ambience, aesthetically-pleasing design, ideal location and peaceful quietness during the night for sleeping. Oh... and one silly thing that I loved - being a woman with very thick long hair.... the shower had enough water pressure to rinse shampoo thoroughly. That's sometimes rare in the finest hotels. The apartment was delightfully comfortable without being "foo-foo" with unnecessary clutter.
Note: beds are two thin twins in one room (bath/shower just steps away in hall) and a full-size bed (smaller than queen) with ensuite shower. Bedroom window views are on to close (thus limited), but the view from three beautiful windows in living/kitchen more than make up.
Stairs are truly winding worn stone stairs to the 2nd floor (USA 3rd), but we found them quite easy as we are accustomed to climbing stairs and we travel light even if we are in our 50's. We loved the old spiral stairs and simply imagined a great Scot in history doing the same steps a few hundred years ago.
