Reading through the most recent review, I couldn't describe the layout of the apartment any better.
Sonia was waiting for us when we arrived, having called a taxi for us to take us from the parking garage to the apartment. She welcomed us and shared her tips to help up feel at home. The next day, we had to call her regarding a couple needed plumbing repairs and she took care of them promptly.
Since we were there for a month, we missed a few conveniences in the kitchen: a 500 ml measuring cup (we left the one we purchased), a few smaller sized bowls, a paring knife or something smaller than all the long knives provided, and a second saucepan. We're not complaining, just noting.
The apartment is very quiet other than the occasional work that was being performed on the building. If mobility is an issue, the bedroom/bathroom on the main floor can be an issue, especially during the night. The second bedroom would be out of the question with the spiral staircase and a very low bed. There are two new bicycles in the garage which we didn't use, but are a very nice touch for those able to ride around town and on the wall. We enjoyed the bright, sunny light from the courtyard, especially with the doors open to enjoy the formal garden. Thank you, Sonia, for making us feel at home.
