Very nice apartment; I like having the bathrooms separate from the toilets as that allows for letting folks get ready much faster in the morning. Air conditioning was vital and worked well during the heat wave that impacted Europe during our visit. Although it's true that many of the stores literally outside of the apartment are wholesale, you only need to move a short distance to reach a traditional consumer location (with lots of perfectly fine restaurants if you take the time to survey the area). Sure, a location overlooking the river would be better, but from a value perspective, this apartment was great.
