The classical apartment is beautiful, just as pictured. It has been lovingly decorated with antiques, art and books along with some contemporary touches. It's a wonderful place from which to explore the city -come home after a day of sightseeing or whatever and lounge on the linen sofas perusing art books and listening to music from his jazz and classical collections. It's quite crowded on the street during the day, as you would expect in this central location, but it clears out in the late afternoon. The bathroom was clean and sleek, with nice fixtures and really good water pressure. The cupboard bed was fun and the mattress very comfy. Everything you need is in the lovely kitchen, and the stylish accessories make it a pleasure to putter around.
Calim was a great host. He stayed in touch and several weeks out, sent a ton of great restaurant and bar ideas. We'd stay here again in a minute!
