The communal garden was definitely the best part of the place. We were hoping for an apartment on the ground floor as advertised but were on the first floor with bedrooms facing the street (loud and overall no natural light). But again, the garden was gorgeous and we were out and about most of the time. Our host let us keep our bags in the apartment after check out which was a lifesaver for us since we had an evening flight. The location was great and super close to the underground system. The gate was always locked so I recommend asking for more sets of keys for larger groups if you want to come and go as you please.
