The flat was clean and comfortable. It was 10 min walking from the subway which is about a 10-15 min journey to the center of town. The neighborhood has a few restaurants but very small and local. There was a noise problem however. There is a dog that barks loudly and we could hear arguing from neighbors or people on the street. Overall is was a good place for the money. Martin, although we did not meet him, was helpful in answering our questions
