Annas place was perfect. Small but really well thought out. You've got everything you need and it's all very sleek and cozy. Anna was really helpful and friendly as well. The neighborhood is really nice and full of small pubs and restaurants. The metro stop just a few blocks away makes moving around the city quick and easy. We hadn't noticed that the apartment is at street level, but the neighborhood is quiet and with the big lush curtains and the big blinds it wasn't a problem at all and we felt very much at home. Overall really happy and can definitely recommend!
