No WiFi but nice enough
The one big unpleasant surprise was that there is no WiFi in the apartment. This made it very difficult for us to plan activities, chart out day trips, search for restaurants in the area, etc. But the owner provided both milk in the fridge and a loaf of tasty breakfast bread, which were welcome amenities. The beds were not very comfortable. The small electric fan was vital since it was very hot despite it being early September.
