Loved the convenience/location - it was great to be able to pick up supplies in the same building! We loved the pool/hot tub/work out room. The house was in a great, central location - and easy walk to the train station. Alex is great with quick responses to any questions we had. The apartment is nicely decorated, the view is nice - the balcony and BBQ great assets - and though the city is busy, the room is pretty sound proof - and each room has it's own air conditioning. Only thing we found missing (as we had a 5 year old with us) was a DVD player - which would be nice for any down time you may need. You will also need to be prepared to purchase most of your condiments(salt/pepper etc) as these are not supplied (unless this changes) - if you intend on cooking in the apartment. There is a washing machine - which worked great, but no dryer - you hang clothes on the balcony, which was not a big deal - just a heads up.
