The apartment was spacious, clean and well equipped. Since it is in an older building, expect a few squeaks in the hardwood floor. It faces a quiet courtyard, perfect for a good nights rest. The beds are firm, but comfortable. There is a washer and dryer, a great plus. The apartment is on the third floor and is reached by an outside glass elevator. Access from the street is with a coded entry as is the elevator.
A well equipped convenience store and a green grocer are just a short block away, and along the street are several restaurants. A tram stop is just outside the building and the subway two blocks away. Marienplatz in the centre of old town is two stops on the subway, from where a lot of the attractions are within a short walk. All in all a very nice place to stay. Although we didn't meet Laura in person, the communication via e-mail/texting was good. The public transit to and from the airport/main train station is easy and fast with S-Bahn/ Subway. Allow one hour on the S-Bahn to the airport, 15 minutes via Subway to the main train station.
