This is not an ideal apartment if you are looking for a quiet work space or home office. There are two windows in the main living area that don't close. They face an interior vertical shaft that is shared by neighbors. You can hear everything from the neighbors. I could literally hear their actual conversations, their dog, them doing the dishes, their phone beeps. It feels like you renting a room in another person's apartment. I notified the host, who said the windows cannot close due to building code restrictions. The good news is that you hear these sounds in the kitchen and living room, but not in the bedroom. The host of course is not responsible for outside noise, but I think this should be disclosed in the listing. I'm surprised this was not mentioned in other reviews. Also the sofa in the photos is not the sofa in the apartment, but overall, the design of the place is great and all the equipment worked well. The noise made it very unpleasant, but if you aren't sensitive to noise or you are only using the place to sleep, it's a great location. Flexible check-in and check-out was super appreciated and the place was very clean.
