Lovely apartment in nice area. Noisy - but it is in the middle of Party Town - to be expected. Keys are tricky. Here's the trick: building key (more square one) - don't put key all the way and turn right - apartment key (round) - turn left then left again. Vera is very responsive and helpful. If American, make sure you bring electrical converter AND surge protector. Instructions for the washer/dryer would be helpful, as it was confusing. Attention to a few maintenance/cleaning things suggested. Overall, we had a lovely stay and recommend this apartment.
