The apartment is in a great location, within walking distance to everything we wanted to see, and just steps away from restaurants. The grocery store was a quick walk away, so we were able to pick up some breakfast foods, and I enjoyed preparing breakfasts in the well-equipped kitchen.
Sean has kept some period touches in the apartment, but the bath and aforementioned kitchen have been completely updated so the place is thoroughly charming yet livable.
Be aware that it can sometimes get a bit noisy at night, so bring some earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Also the apartment is reached by a narrow set of spiral stairs, so if you have trouble climbing this may not be the place for you (the kids and I thought they were really cool!) These two things are a small price to pay for being in such a great location and in such a unique space.
Sean is a great host, easily accessible and really kind. We hope to come back and stay in his flat again soon!
