Rita House in Old Town

Location was excellent, the property was charming.

Directions were misleading. The property is in an alley OPPOSITE Memorabilia NOT next to it. The staircase is positively dangerous! The last flight to the balcony/shower/ sunroof is much too narrow and steep! The risers on these steps are non standard and larger than normal. The steps being hard and not covered in carpet meant there was much bruising of toes and near accidents. This apartment is unsuited to people over 65 and /or with mobility problems.

YES, there are stairs. But how else do you get a 4 level townhouse in the middle of the old town all to yourself?!?! (ground floor) VERY well equipped kitchen and handy to have a half bathroom down there, (1st floor) living room internet was fast and strong, (2nd floor) bedroom was comfortable, and then (3rd floor) patio was glorious for reading and coffee/wine at all times of day. The 3rd floor main bathroom shower had great water pressure, very comfortable. One touch I appreciated was screens on windows (living room & bedroom) - for when you want fresh air, but not the flies!

As many have mentioned, the steep spiral stairs will make it challenging for some. Also, needing to climb a flight of stairs and go semi-outside but still mostly private (4 steps) on the patio to get to the bathroom is not ideal.... but now you know - bring a robe to grab in the night if you feel it necessary. The couch in the living room is a day bed, which will be great for traveling families in need of more than 1 bed. However it makes a VERY deep and relatively uncomfortable couch, and the springs are ridiculously squeaky LOUD.

Clean, unique, close to everything in old Town. Lots of character. Well supplied. Decent wifi.

Close to everything comes with some noise. Bathroom was chilly. Stairs were a little difficult to navigate with luggage.
