This is a nice, minimal apartment.
The bed is comfortable and the furniture adequate. The windows are new and keep out the noise very well. The bathroom has been recently renovated and is roomy and modern. The shared kitchenette offers only the bare essentials for cooking: you aren't able to cook anything elaborated, but there is a fridge, a coffee machine and a microwave that come in handy. The apartment was quite clean, while the kitchen could have been better.
The apartment is located near a metro station and is well connected with the city center. Check-in and check-out worked smoothly and Al has always been willing to help.
People who consider staying by Al should be aware that the curtains are just wide enough to cover the windows but not to darken the room that remains always quite bright. Furthermore, the residents that live in the apartment next door have a TV on the other side of the bed wall, which is often on, from early in the morning until late in the night (we heard it both on 6 am and 1 am). If you struggle to get to sleep, unfortunately this is not the apartment for you...
