This is a very pretty, bright and comfortable apartment in a convenient central location. Yes, it is a walk-up building. If you're okay with that, as we were, you'll be rewarded at the top of the steps with a clean and beautiful temporary home, complete with big fluffy towels and excellent bedding, within easy walking distance of many points of interest, museums, restaurants and transportation. Can't comment on the upstairs shower and bath (as previous guest did) as we only used the sink and toilet up there, but the main floor shower was very nice with no shortage of hot water. The only problem was communication. The host's management company was unresponsive to questions which were asked before the start of the trip, and didn't respond despite multiple messages, until the very last day of the trip citing the busy time of year. This caused much unnecessary difficulty and frustration on the last day of what was, otherwise, a lovely stay.
