Our key was not in the lockbox when we arrived. They brought us one after we called, but the entire process took about an hour while we waited with two children 4 and under to get into the flat. The cleaning crew left visibly dirty towels from the previous guests hanging in our rooms and we had to move them ourselves. Not very pleasant, they were dirty enough that I did not want to touch them. We also paid for a travel cot for my one year old that was not in the flat. They originally said they would bring us one the following day until I called and insisted they bring us one for our first night (otherwise no one would be getting sleep). They were suddenly able to make that happen within 30 minutes. Overall, the beginning was very bumpy, but they were responsive and corrected most of our issues. The stairs are definitely a struggle, but we knew about those from the previous reviews.

Great location

This property was lovely, clean, and had a great location!The beds were super comfortable, which is the most important thing to my family. The location was wonderful, within easy walking distance to everything we wanted to do. There are about 65 steps up to the apartment itself, with no lift in the building, so could be very difficult for anyone who is elderly, has health issues, or traveling with lots of luggage.Other than that, very nice!The management was also very responsive to any questions/concerns that we had in a vert timely manner.
