The apartment is conveniently located near trains for ease in getting around the city. We like this neighborhood and have stayed in the area before. We took advantage of and enjoyed the large market that comes three times a week. The apartment set-up takes advantage of a very small and very compact space. Washing machine and drying rack came in handy. The street the apartment is on is quite busy with street traffic and people so it can be quite noisy most of the time and late into the night. There are double-paned windows that help with the noise if you don't need the windows open. We enjoyed our stay.
