Edith was a wonderful host and her apartment was even better than the photos. It was exceptionally clean, with lots of nice personal touches. As others mentioned, there is no elevator so you need to be prepared to climb stairs. In the front room, it can get loud with the window open but my husband and I like the white noise and fresh air. The mattress is very firm, which we did not mind, but others may. Transportation is nearby and so easy! I would stay here again and definitely recommend to friends.
