We knew that Monica’s apartment was small before coming, and it really is. However, it contains the things you need – a bedroom, a kitchen/living room and a bathroom. Everything was new and the building was restored recently, so it was a surprise to us that it only had some narrow steep stairs to climb, which was rather hard for us (73 and 68 years old), and we had to think about when to go out. We loved the terrace with the sun and everything in the apartment worked fine. However, we wondered why the cooker hood wasn’t carried through the roof, but lead all the vapour from boiling water for coffee for instance right out in the room. We often had to choose between the cold air outside (6-8 degrees in the morning) in order to get the steam out and a very steamed room.
Monica and her husband were very kind and helpful. They helped us carry our suitcases up and down the steep chairs. Thank you for that!
