Nicolas was very easy to coordinate with and the apartment was in an excellent location. Close to several major sites and easy train ride to the airport. As many people have pointed out, you are very near the red light district so I got to have some interesting conversations with my six year old. Also late at night there's a fair amount of obvious prostitution going on. That being said, I didn't in any way feel unsafe. The condo was a great value but a little dusty and scruffy. If you want an affordable, central location however it's pretty great.
