The apartment is fine. You will be comfortable there. It's warm and it has most of what you need. I haven't had time to check out the neighborhood since I only stayed there one night to catch a flight the next day. It is about 30-40 mins from city center by public transport. There are, however, a few things I would like to note. The curtains in the bedroom are basically sheer. Street light comes right into the room at night making it hard to fall asleep. Then in the morning, the sunlight does the same. Secondly, the apartment did not have something as basic as a microwave (I found a broken one in the cabinets). Also to say that it is close to Yppenplatz is misleading. I was concerned with being close to city center and Yppenplatz is close. However, this place is twice as far from the center as Yppenplatz. So literally doubled my commute time, unknowingly. I hope the host will fix up these simple things for a better guest experience. Our communication was good.
