Macario Apartment in the Old Town

Location was excellent in The Old Town, only slight issue was the amount of steps up to the apartment there are a lot especially getting luggage up & down. Everything else was great.

The steps up to the apartment! There are a couple of maintenance issues in the bathroom but nothing major. The top step from the bedrooms to the kitchen/bathroom is very deep & could be an issue at night, we used a bedside lamp at night places on top of the fridge so we could see in the night.

Location was fantastic.

Good location, clean apartment, great romantic view on the lively street, very nice host.

The only positive thing about this apartment is its size; it is indeed spacious. However, that is where the positives end. Our stay was a complete nightmare, and I would strongly advise against booking this place, especially for families or older travelers.

1. Sleeping Conditions (Unsanitary & Bright) • Hygiene: The beds were soft and squeaky, but the worst part was the bedding. We were provided with a single thin sheet and blankets that were disgustingly dirty with unknown stains. I was repulsed even touching them. • Cold: Since it was March (10^\circ\text{C} outside), one sheet was not enough. I actually had to go out and buy my own clean blankets just to survive the night. • Light: The curtains are useless. They don't cover the entire window, and because the apartment is on a lit square, it is as bright as daylight inside the room all night long. 2. Poor Amenities • Maintenance: The air conditioning remotes had no batteries, and the hairdryer blew only cold air, making it useless. • Cleanliness: The shower was dirty, and there were no supplies provided for washing dishes. 3. Location & Noise (The Biggest Issues) • Accessibility: The apartment is on the 2nd floor with 40 steep stairs. There is no elevator, making it a "cardio workout" for luggage and completely unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues. • Parking: It is located in a ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone), so parking nearby is impossible. • Extreme Noise: This is the dealbreaker. There is a restaurant directly below the apartment. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, they played incredibly loud music until midnight. Even with the windows closed, I measured 90dB in the room. It is impossible to sleep before 1:00 AM.
