This place is great. I'm a big nerd and have never spent much effort decorating my own home and I felt like I was in some movie, the place is so stylish as if it had been designed by an art director. The neighborhood is very cool. I like long walks and did a lot of walking, also there is a subway station near by and lots and lots of local bars, restaurants, and cafes. One thing that I was worried about is noise, I'm very sensitive to noise and was worried about staying in a location in a big city but the place is amazingly quiet. There is a nice balcony and plenty of windows but they all look inward toward the courtyard at the center of the building so virtually no city noise from the street. Ute was a wonderful host (Arne was away while I was there) so incredibly friendly. I hated to leave.
