My husband and I are the type to just go out the front door and start walking. We knew we were pretty close to the palace, so although we were surprised at how early the palace gates closed, we had the most fun adventure walking around the whole palace (outside the gates).
There were grocery stores fairly near by the apartment which was convenient.
Having the ability to have the blinds closed at night or raising them half way for light yet still privacy was nice. The bed was very comfortable.
In regards to dimensions of things including the couch and shower, look at the photos carefully.
I had a concern upon arriving, but they addressed it readily. And when I had a question in regards to the WiFi connection for instance, I got a response readily again. Being able to communicate easily was great.
