The apartment was a about 2 km away from the "action", which I knew when booking. However, we expected a few more "comforts" - there were 3 very thin towels provided for showers, no kitchen towels, hand towels or bath mat. There was no washing machine, which is more often than not provided. We were offered a clean and fresh towels after the 3rd night so that helped, but we didn't know to expect it. We really weren't prepared for a drip coffee maker. Espresso is what we drink and we didn't expect to downgrade in Europe. A simple stove top espresso pot would have been ample. The neighborhood was loud at times and there were many arguments. At times the wifi was weak. Pillows old and need replacement. The couch is covered but old and saggy. I can't imagine getting a new one up those stairs! The apartment was fairly spacious, with a dining table and living room area and we had at least 3 windows with Juliette balconies. There is a partial view of the April 24th and Christ monument as well as the water. Well, not my favorite place but not awful either.
