Emma's apartment was definitely filled with natural light and had a lovely balcony area. It was centrally located for taking the bus and metro or for strolling through the city's beautiful parks. There is a gym with spin classes on the same block and several stores for food within walking distance. The gas heater was difficult to light, but once lit, it worked just fine. Unfortunately, the hot water heater broke during my stay, but Emma had someone come to fix it. It was working within a few days and shouldn't be an issue for the next person. Emma was also kind and provided me with city maps the first day. I felt very secure in the apartment, and the doorman was friendly and willing to help me with lighting the gas heater.
