This apartment is very well located and rather funky, in keeping with the neighborhood. Street noise is not a problem but you do end up tracking in a lot of dirt from the outside. Monica welcomed us warmly. The only thing that could be improved is the overall cleanliness, especially the kitchen, and equipping the kitchen with better pots, pans, china, cutlery, a few decent knives and wine glasses! It is reasonably priced and perfect for a few days' stay.
