The host is very helpful and responds to emails really quickly. We had actually initially requested a different flat, but it was not available due to renovations and he brought our attention to this one. The location of this flat is great, and if you are just sleeping there, and using it to be mostly out exploring the city, it does provide all the right basics.

Please note however that this apartment is actually part of a hostel complex. It is a self contained apartment though and it is useful having access to a reception, especially if not all of your group arrive at the same time. Just useful to know that as it may impact the noise levels coming from other parts of the building. While we were there, the noise in the bedrooms on the road side were fine, but those who slept at the back of the building got some middle of the night noise from the stairs/courtyard in the back. The flat was clean and did match the photos. It is quite basic, but ticks all the necessary boxes. The layout is a bit odd, with two toilets which face each other, just off the kitchen and only separated by a plastic divider from each other... and the closest sink for washing hands after using the toilet is the kitchen. It is also worth noting that there is no 'real' communal space big enough if you are a group of 9 people - there is a table that fits 4-6 (must bring chairs from your bedroom) and a couch in the hall which fits 3 people. Otherwise you'll need to hang out in each other's bedrooms/on the floor, which may not be ideal if plan to spend a lot of time in the apartment. Having said that - there is so much to explore within walking distance of the flat, that we were almost never in, so this was fine with us.
