If I could award the apartment by itself a five star rating, I would—but there are other factors that reduce my rating. The apartment is compact and fully functional. The website photos are accurate. The location is excellent. We were able to see all of the main sights on foot. On the other side of the ledger, a printed set of instructions would have helped us with air conditioning and using the clothes washer. The drawbacks are these: a tight circular staircase of 45 steps worn badly over decades of use are downright dangerous, a light outside the apartment that turned on and off all night long ( the door and bathroom both have transoms that allow the light in) was annoying, and the pickup spot for the keys is quite a hike. Still, it meets the goal of location, location, location!
