The apartment was clean and neat, and the International Home Owners group was very welcoming. Having a washing machine in the apartment was great, and the location was absolutely perfect for us – on a quiet street but still centrally located with cafes, metro, butcher and pastry shops all right down the block. Only thing of note is that the flat is one level above the street, and the quiet street got a little noisy Friday and Saturday night when a group of people cut through the street after the bars and cafes closed. If you are a very light sleeper you may want to keep the windows shut at night on the weekends. We would definitely stay here again.
