Jul 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great location and clean apt. Only downside was the huge amount of stairs, rough sheets, no mattress protector, completely flat pillows, and a nespresso machine was provided but no capsules. Otherwise it was a great stay. ##### Mary F.
