    Location is awesome. We easily walked to many popular attractions. Scott left some basic kitchen supplies for us like coffee, teas, milk and juice.

    The spiral staicase was a challenge for a couple if us.

    It’s a great place but it wasn’t a good fit for us due to the chimney smell.

    Location! Many thoughtful amenities. Very responsive hosts.

    It smelled like chimney smoke. That was a problem for our family members with asthma.

    DANGEROUS- No Fire Exit-5th Story Walk Up No Elevator- No handrail

    It's a challenge to answer what we liked because the property should NOT be available on Booking.com and I'm not sure it is even legal to do what they're doing with that apartment. I bring large groups of people around the world as my work and I have used Booking.com many times so I'm not a newbie and I do not leave "bad" reviews lightly. I tried to talk with Scott during and after the stay and he continually blamed Booking.com for not having the accurate information on the website and said he could not change it. This is a 5TH STORY WALK UP WITH NO ELEVATOR IN A STONE SPIRAL STAIRWELL AND NO HANDRAIL. Don't you think that should be mentioned in the description of the place that is not refundable? I traveled here with 15 other people as it came up as accommodating 16 people. Mind you, the 15th and 16th people would be sleeping on a mattress on the floor if we were actually able to do this. It is four bedrooms, a wide open loft and a living room with pull out couches. It is not a five bedroom. We had to get another hotel for part of our group because they could not walk up the five stories in a circular stone stairwell with no handrail. But probably most importantly, there is only one way up and one way down-- a stone stariwell with no fire escape. AND for those that are staying on the 2nd floor of the apartment (up the spiral staircase inside the apartment) there are not even windows to get out from other than the skylights so literally you would burn to death with no possible escape if there was a fire.

    So, what did we like? The location was amazing, it was very clean, nice offerings of snacks, the beds were comfortable
