Absolutely loved this place. Convenient to walk to everywhere we wanted to go. Very clean and beds were so comfy. Tony was so helpful with the check in and check out. If you have a car there is a space to park. Would definitely recommend this place to stay.

This is a beautiful apartment in an excellent location. Everything you need and spotless. It is up 2 flights of stairs if that an issue. Also there is a bar next door and people hang out but seemed to stop fairly early.
It all looks newly remodeled and it is just so pretty. We loved it

The entry to the building and the stairwell is pretty grungy and covered with graffiti, but, if you get past that, the apartment is clean, cozy and spacious. We required a property with two bedrooms and this one was perfect. It's within walking distance to all of the major tourist attractions and neighborhoods. We managed but it would have been easier and comfortable if there were paper towels (only 2 sheets left upon check in); we didn't have to hunt for more toilet paper; a few more towels for a 3-night stay with 3 adults; provide face cloths; and a Nespresso or drip coffee machine would have been lovely. Thanks for a great stay!

The apartment itself was lovely - very spacious, clean, and all the amenities you could possibly need. A few caveats, though. I had specifically inquired as to what floor the apartment was on, as my husband has some knee issues. I knew one flight of stairs would be fine, but would be worried about anything beyond that. I was told it was on the second floor. It is actually on the third because the first floor is businesses (so it is on the second floor of apartments). There were 46 steps to get to the apartment! I think anyone who might have an issue with stairs should know this. Also, yes, there is a parking spot for your rental car behind the building, but there is a locked gate, and it takes two people to operate it - one to lift the gate and one to lock/unlock. The building and apartment keys are both tricky - definitely work, but not without some effort. Also, the halls are VERY dimly lit - almost to the point of being a little dangerous. There are automatic lights that come on at night, but during the day, those lights don't come on, and it is very dark and hard to see. Would I recommend this apartment? Yes. As I said, it is a wonderful space, but I think renters should also know the caveats so that they can make an informed decision.
