I had a very comfortable stay with Monika. I booked last minute because of a family emergency, and Monika was extremely accommodating and quick to reply. The room itself is street level, and has very effective metal blinds that you can close at night for privacy. The street isn’t too busy, so the noise outside wasn’t bothersome. The apartment does have an odor of cigarette smoke, but it’s tolerable. As some others have mentioned, the bedroom door doesn’t lock, but I felt like I had plenty of privacy. Extra perk, there’s a nice bakery/cafe down the street and other places to eat. I definitely could not have found a better value!
