Elxe and her apartment are both very good. Elxe was a great, quick communicator and gave us good tips for example for using public transport. She was also extremely thoughtful and provided us with Christmas decorations for a tree we bought down the road. The tree with real candles and her decorations was beautiful on Christmas Eve.
The apartment itself is big and spacious and comfortable slept five of us (three older children and the two parents). I selected the place primarily on two things: proximity to public transport that was not too far from the city centre and washer/dryer to help us deal with five people travelling for three weeks. Apartment was perfect in those two respects. I could well imagine in spring/summer the place would be fantastic with the two terraces.
TV and stereo were very good for Christmas carols and a movie we watched via one of the kid's computers. Washer was efficient and clothers amazingly dried overnight with the under floor heating. Because Elxe lives here the apartment has everything including washing powder, coffee, tea etc. It does not have a microwave, but you just have to heat things on the quick induction stove top.
Just a couple of things we noted that could be improved. First, the pillows in the master bedroom were on the small side, so we had to bolster them with a pillow from the sofa. The duvet/bed cover was also a little thin, so we improvised there as well. Finally, because Elxe lives there we really didn't have any space to hang things in her bedroom. We basically had to hang clothes in the common area. No big deal, but it would have been handier to be able to get things out of the closet in the bedroom.
Shower and bath were both good - plenty of hot water, good water pressure. Apartment was never too hot or too cold.
