The apartment was exactly as pictured and we had a wonderful stay. The host was very responsive to questions and arrangements. The main reasons we chose this apartment were the proximity to city center, and air conditioning in both the bedroom and the common space. Our week (sleep) would have been much different without the A/C as it was often in the 80s and 90s. The apartment was very spacious, and remained quiet inside. It was nice that it was possible to close off the bedroom so that someone could remain sleeping while others were awake in the living/dining area. If you are looking for an apartment on a quiet street in a residential neighborhood, this is not the apartment for you. This apartment was located right in the busy city center (which was great). The location was so close by walking or a few stops on the U-Bahn from most tourist sites it was convenient to stop by the apartment during the day to drop things off, or have a rest or snack before heading off again.
