It is very close to the city centre, there are plenty of shops and there is a metro station just about two squares away. The street next to the flat is quite busy during the day, which can be an issue for some people, but in general the place is comfortable and it has anything you could need for a nice stay. It is also very warm, which is great during the winter. Valeska gave us all the instructions when we arrived and she can be reached easily. We totally recommend this place.
