The apartment was new and very nicely decorated. Was clean and comfortable. The building is very safe and new as well. Location is ok. Yes u have to walk 7 to 10 min to get to the happening area. Unfortunately I had to work during my stay and I spent way too much time inside. Next door is located primarily school and those little monsters made a lot of noise. However if you plan on being outside moat of the time the apartment is fantastic! I had great experience. The hosts were very polite and kind. Communication was outstanding. The entire access was with door codes which makes your life easier!
