This is a beautiful second-floor apartment loaded with lovely woodwork and permeated by a cozy feel. The hosts clearly take pains to provide an excellent accommodation. They have made one ill-thought decision-- installing a microwave and tiny dishwasher on the limited counter space in an already-small kitchen. This has made simple cooking tasks, like cutting an onion or measuring out oatmeal, unwieldy or impossible. We conceived of a workaround that allowed us to cook breakfasts and a dinner, which we shared on the lovely wooden table in the dining room. We were back to loving the apartment.
