The neighborhood has a safe, real residential feel to it, with cafes and good restaurants. We were able to walk everywhere from there. The buildings are period pieces, with all of the charm and character that implies. The stairs from the ground to the front door and from the front door to the apartment are a climb, but one is rewarded with a charming and cozy space with a view of a treelined street. We had everything we needed in the apartment, and the hosts were attentive and made sure we were settled in. The contactless checkin worked well. Overall, it was a good stay, and we felt like we were in a home, whether it was sitting at the table eating breakfast looking out the at view, relaxing watching the free movies on the television, or getting ready to go out on the town (good storage space for clothing). Shower and bathroom are small but functional. The apartment is nicely furnished and has all the utensils and other amenities one or two people would need. We recommend it for active, adventurous people, but with a caveat for anyone with difficulty with stairs.
