The apartment is very large - larger than it looked in the photos - the communal area is really great with a sofa, arm chairs, a proper dining table and seats at a kitchen bar. The kitchen section was beautiful and having the toilet separate to the bathroom was incredibly useful in busy early city break mornings! The beds were comfortable, and once in the apartment, the area was largely quiet. Anne who met us was lovely and gave us two keys in case the group wished to divide. It was clean and nicely decorated. It's perfect for a group of friends but I imagine it would be lovely for a family with children too as one of the rooms is clearly a children's room and has board games etc. We had a really lovely time. It is in easy reach the metro in serval different directions, although Conol Fabian is closest we would recommend walking the 15 minutes to the Republic metro station which has even better metro links. If you walk down to the canal take a left and you'll soon be in an area of restaurant's, fast food places, and cake shops, to suit all needs - we only discovered this on our last day - what a shame! Would easily stay here again.
