Stylish, cozy and practical. Great location!
The location is great. Close to supermarkets and easy to walk to the bars, restaurants and attractions. The kitchen equipment is great. Pans that where actually non-stick and chopping knifes that would slice. Air conditioning was a life saver. The windows do a good job of reducing the noise of the surroundings. Working from home, I used the kitchen table and would every now and then switch to the couch to charge my computer.The lift is very helpful as one does not have to go up the stairs with the luggage. The communication throughout was very good and friendly. Received great tips on events, transport and luggage storage. Would recommend and come back.

pros and cons
great location and light, but form over function. no storage at all. Not really set up for longer stays, no desk/workspace, super low couch, no microwave, poor lighting, and a wonky shower-easy to scald since almost no cold water from shower tap. Great for a short stay living out of a suitcase and being out and about most of the time.

Shower situation
Everything was perfect, cleanliness, check-in (perfect contact), location, neighbourhood, but there was one BIG point who was really not well. Effectively the shower is probably one of the worst shower we had since our experience of renting with V.R.B.O. (over10 years). Difficulty to settle the right water temperature, noise when we turn it on, always a little bit worry that it will brake. Other point, for North American people like us a micro wave oven is always very useful. Finally, you cannot do nothing about it but the birds were very present and kind of aggressive, so we were not able to sit on the balcony. In conclusion, a good stay but with some frustrations.
