The apartment is newly remodeled with everything from ikea and has been modernized. The kitchen and living room are both lovely, I wish mine at home were that nice! There is a significant amount of noise 24 hours a day so be sure to bring earplugs. It's a very bright apartment and Brenda is kind enough to stock it with sleep masks which we took advantage of! I suggest bringing extra towels if you have a longer stay. Also, if you're a short person you won't be able to see yourself in the bathroom mirror and might have a hard time washing up. The stairs up to the apartment are also very steep so be careful! Otherwise, we had a great stay in a nice clean place and couldn't hear any noise from the building tenants at all.
