the apartment is in an awesome location, very central. there are many steep stairs to climb with luggage, to be expected in an old building. Most of the apartment is nice but some of the furnishings and carpets were downright nasty, very stained and grubby. The carpet in the 2nd bedroom looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed let alone cleaned in a very long time. The bathroom cleaning was questionable. You also have the choice of a cold shower with some pressure of a hot dribble. To be honest the place looked as if it hadn’t had a critical eye put on it in quite some time and the soft couches and carpets in question should be taken out and burned! I wouldnt be so critical but we paid A LOT for this apartment and for the money I would have expected much better.
