Overall: We liked staying in the apartment and recommend it. The neighborhood is attractive, and with lots of amenities in walking distance. With our transit passes we got around very well from bus and tram stops close by, and we also walked to the center in under 25 minutes. Communication with the owner went fine. Check in and out was simple.
The Apartment: It occupies the entire floor. We liked that the bedroom was far from the living areas and has nothing above it, adding to privacy and quiet. In summer, with windows open, you do hear the downstairs neighbors when in their courtyard, but not during normal sleeping hours. The kitchen is modern and well fit out for cooking. Available countertop space for food prep was tight, though. Having a worktable in the kitchen area would have helped immensely. There is a dishwasher, that we did not use. We did not see a microwave. There is a nice sized fridge, but we could find no freezer, which we found odd. Also, we could find no switch or buttons to turn on the range hood fan or light. The bathroom is very nice and well supplied. It has a great shower, ample hot water, and better lighting for shaving and makeup than we typically find. There were only two tiny pillows for the bed, which we found not enough. Also, the queen-sized bed fit very tightly, and it was not easy to maneuver around on the sides. While we understand the desire to have as big a bed as possible, a double bed would have worked better, in our opinion. The dining area was big and comfortable. The sofa, not so comfy. The smart TV is set tight against the wall and its video connection, we could tell, was in the rear, so we were unable to hook up our internet TV device.t. If you don’t use your own internet TV device, this would not matter. The apartment was clean and has good light and natural ventilation. Internet was up to the job.
