Great location
Positives:
- The apartment is very nice. It has lovely ancient stone and exposed beams. We thoroughly enjoyed it as a base for 8 days.
- The location could not be better right in old town. Major attractions and great places to eat and drink are minutes away.
- The two Paula’s in the office are super nice and helpful.
- There are really good instructions supplied before arrival including how to drive into old town to drop luggage. Unfortunately, they did not know or inform us that one of the narrow one-way roads was under construction. We had an interesting time trying to reverse out!
Negatives:
- The place could be better stocked. They supply two rolls of toilet paper for an 8-day stay, a token amount of soap for hand washing, dishwasher or laundry.
- The pillows on the couch and the chair cushions were filthy. We actually took the covers off and washed them they were so bad.
- The Wifi does not reach to the back of the unit. I like to browse in bed if I can’t sleep – not possible.
- The stairwell leading up the unit is pretty bad, chipped and broken steps, very dirty.
- If you want to park at the nearby Saba garage, check prices yourself. We had them set it up at their “discount” rate of 15 euros/ day. We ended up staying an extra week - when we set up the parking ourselves, it was 10 euros/ day.
- We found a hole in the wall in the loft bedroom that looks right down into the main bedroom. Pretty creepy. We plugged it with a tissue.
- AC did not work.
