  : Well stocked utensils. Very clean. Easy to walk into centre.
  : Was aware of very small bathroom but best to know this in advance. Also stairs are very steep.

Very Good

  : This apartment is in an old building and has lots of character (steep stairs up to it, a small veranda). The kitchen was tiny but well equipped. The location is great with lots of good restaurants very close by (at the bottom of the same building).
  : I am short, so I didn't mind the low ceilings, but the tall teenage boys I was travelling with complained a bit and hit their heads a few times :-)

  : We were welcome by Aunty Maria, such a sweet (but very loud!) woman. However, she doesnt talk English. So first thing to do is to connect yourself on the internet to use Google translate!! Internet is very good. We stayed in the apartment #2 which is cozy for two (if youre a small, ceilings are very low) and was clean. The colors and decorations are really cute. Beds are comfortable and the new window with inside shutter is great. There are pots with coffee, tea, sugar, and some napkins are provided. Also, dish soap and shower soap were present. Pretty nice.
  : On Booking.com, it first tells you there is a washing machine, but then when you book you have to BE VERY CAREFUL as the owner has two apartments, one with a washing machine, the other without. However, when I booked, only one apartment was displayed (I assumed the other one was already booked) and I didnt even realize there were two!! So I booked thinking we would have a washing machine, but that was the apartment without any!! Such a disappointment as we had to find a laundry, go there, wait what a hassle!! The bathroom is terrible because of the roof slope (I'm 5'4", Check the pic!!). There is a useless bidet which could be replaced by a small washing machine. When we arrived, the gas lighter was empty, and we had to go buy a new one right off the building. No big deal, but if there is a gas stove, I expect to find at least a box of matches. Pretty much half of the tiles floor are broken and unsealed, and need to be renewed. The hot water tank is very small, so youd better not use too much water if you want someone else to be able to shower. There is no colander and microwave cover to keep it clean. Also the stairs are very vertical, so youd better be in shape to get to that third floor, especially with a 50lbs luggage!! On the Wednesday, the people renting the second apartment left at 4:30am making plenty of noise and our night was done!! The next day, it was the new renters arriving by midnight, same scenario!! Finally, one the Friday night, it was the people living on the second floor having a party!! Very upsetting when the only thing you want is to sleep after you walked 25K steps during the day!! Cherry on the cake: the owner was pretty rude when we dared to express same remarks!! Really??

Disappointing

  : It is house for Lilliputians, a people tall 160cm or less! Many times I hit the head in roof or door! Bathroom is only for dolls! Not possible to get in the toilet if You are tall more that 140 cm!!!

Fair

  : The house is attic, If you are max 150cm you will be fine.
  : The height, and the narrow spaces
