This apartment was extremely comfortable and has clearly been recently renovated. We were a family of 6 and felt like we had a home away from home. There was ample space for all of us and everything was clean and new. The managers were exceptionally responsive to our requests and needs and brought us extra supplies for the washing machine and extra bathroom supplies as needed. Elise came herself to fix a blocked sink and took the time to make sure we were happy. (which we were!) The only complaint we had, which we shared with Elise, was the noise from the street. Unfortunately, as the apartment faces a very noisy road and is only on the 1st floor, you feel like you are on the street even with the windows closed. I know that the managers installed new thick glass and while it helps, it doesn't block all the noise. The issue for us wasn't the normal noise of city life (like sirens), but the fact that in the late afternoons and evenings, large numbers of men would drink and hang out on the street in front of the apartment, talking loudly. It made falling asleep challenging. It is not possible to therefore open windows in the evening (while sleeping) and it did get hot in the apartment (no air conditioning, only fans). So in the summer, the heat could be an issue. Elise assured me that she brought the noise issue to the attention of the building management, so perhaps a solution will be found to eliminate the crowds of people just drinking and hanging out there. Based on this, we did not feel the neighborhood to be a great one, even though it is centrally located and easily accessible to public transport.
