I really enjoyed living in the Annex!! The apartment was nice, too, but not as expected. When I arrived it wasn't really clean and there was a strong smell of smoke. It wasn't clear if it was cigarette smoke or some sented stuff, but for an official non smoking apartment it seemed to much to me. I asked for a discount, but it wasn't accepted. Athena offered moving out instead, but changed her mind the next day, so I had to stay. I opened the windows continously the first week to finally feel more comfortable.
The cleaning on the other hand was organised very quickly (same evening). I just had to do the details on my own (like washing the pillows which had stains and didn't smell fresh). So after a bad start everything worked fine and Athena was very nice, tried to solve everything and always responded quickly.
If you're ok with an older house and apartment and if you don't need a full equipped kitchen and fancy stuff, but love to have a nice neighbourhood, this place is for you.
