On our arrival we met Gwen's neighbour Olga who let us in to the apartment and showed us around quickly.
The space was clean, tidy and had everything we needed for our short stay. We had initial troubles with the wifi and the oven but we eventually got them working (oven is very confusing). The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of utensils, however the bedding was very old and didn't look to a standard that the photos showed. We ended up sleeping with only a blanket.
Another down side that we weren't made aware of upon first booking the apartment was that it is located on the fifth floor of an old apartment building. This meaning that we had to climb up the stairs with all of our luggage and then up and down each time we went out or to take the rubbish out.
The main issue we had was with the noise. The street below the apartment is full of bars and restaurants (again we weren't made aware of) and were extremely noisy until the early hours of our the morning and kept us awake.
We found that besides these negatives that the apartment was in a great location, just a few minute walk from several metro stations and there is a supermarket just down the road.
We really enjoyed our time at Gwen's apartment, but there are definitely a few improvements that could be made.
