View from the side window is simply awful, but not the fault of the apartment owner. It does detract from the enjyoment of the stay. We kept the curtains closed whenever we were in. The check in and checkout times (especially checkout!) are ridiculous and means the last day is rushed, which again detracts from the enjoyment of the break.

The place was far more spacious than we were expecting. It was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. The street was pleasant and quiet. The only drawback is the issue of accessibility. For those with mobility issues, there are quite a number of stairs to climb to arrive at the entrance. Other than that, this place is first-rate!
