The location is absolutely wonderful, and the apartment is nice, clean, and comfortable. While it's true that the staircase is steep and narrow (and winding), that only really was a pain when we were moving our luggage. Other than that it wasn't so bad. The bed was very comfortable and we had no problems checking in. Our only issue was that the bedroom has no door, which we weren't expecting, and which makes it more like a large studio than a one-bedroom because the noise travels. But we still enjoyed ourselves and would definitely stay there again. You can't beat the value for the location, size, and comfort of this apartment!
