I rented the apartment for my college age son who spent nearly 3 months at Barbara's apartment. I joined him for a couple of weeks during his stay. The apartment is as shown in the pictures, it has been recently renovated and everything is in great shape. Location is very convenient, in a quiet street, and a short walk from the city centre and a couple of metro stations. There are nice restaurants, cafes and bars nearby. Barabara lives in the same building, which makes communications very simple. There are coin operated washer and dryer machines in a common area in the building basement. The building itself has not been renovated and it is not as nice as the apartment, but it is OK. There is no elevator, so you have a couple of floors to go up the stairs with your luggage. We were very pleased overall with the place and host. The kitchen has a nice stove, refrigerator and oven, as you can see from the pictures, but no microwave, toaster, kettle, no real coffee machine (just a french press), and limited cooking accessories in general, just enough for very simple cooking. It was more than enough for my son, but I did struggle a bit to be able to make a more elaborate meal. That is the only meaningful area of potential improvement I can think of. Overall a great place, I would love to return to.
