Although we were pleased with the spacious size of Sandra's apartment (it is as large as it appears in the photos), our stay was less than comfortable. What you can't see in the photos is that the apartment is a basement unit (underground). Even in the heat of summer the apartment stayed cool, which was a good thing. But the apartment also had a dark feel, and a dank musty smell from its wet, underground location. This may have led to insects we noticed when we arrived but didn't realize the severity until late in our stay. The bathroom is of average European size, but is dated. Cleanliness was mediocre in the bathroom but generally good elsewhere.

On the positive note, the apartment is uncommonly spacious and well equipped. The kitchen is fairly modern and, again, spacious. The backyard seemed like a nice addition although it remained very cold and damp out there even in during the very hot and sunny weather (probably due to it's underground location and being in the shadow of the many buildings that surround it). The apartment is also in a superb location! Just a short walk away from the central old town, and the tram runs just outside the building's front doors! Sandra was professional, very kind and caring to our needs. She even arranged, for a small fee, to have her house cleaner do our laundry while we enjoyed the sites of the city.

If we would have discovered the insect problem sooner, I believe Sandra would have done whatever she could to rectify the problem. But I doubt anything could have been done for our short 3-night stay. As a result I can't recommend this location in the future. If the insect problem can be resolved and as long as you don't mind a somewhat musty smell of a damp and underground apartment, this would make a great location for a family.
