Alex and Kate's flat was on a residential street with cafes and shops near by. It's not in the liveliest of areas. You have to walk a ways to the more exciting restaurants, bars, museums, etc. The area is still nice though and close to the river and the national theater where there was paid parking for our rental car. The flat was great for the four of us and the sauna was a plus on the cold rainy days. Another plus was the washing machine. There were a lot of doors between the entrance and the flat. It's an old building and I guess some are for safety. Not that it was dangerous. We walked around at night plentyof times. Overalll our stay was very nice. The person who checked us in was friendly and helpful with places to see and where to eat. They are very responsive if you need to contact them. A heads up the check in process, it is more like a time share or something. You have to go to their offices to pick up the keys and then go to the flat. It was about a 8 minute drive. Thanks for our stay!
