this apartment is just right for being conveniently near the city center (train stop is directly across the street, then just two stops for the heart of downtown, or to change trains to multiple other lines), yet it's just a little outside downtown, so the traffic and noises are fairly quiet. the photos say it all. it's very clean, with new fixtures, so you don't have to worry about things leaking or not working. Issabelle was prompt and totally available for questions. great place!
