Michael's apartment fit our needs. It's one large open room that has the living room/bedroom as one area with a small dining area. I slept comfortably on the water bed which took some getting use to. My husband slept on the sofa which convert's into a bed. Hardly any noise in the building. I did hear music but it was muted and not a problem. The kitchen is small and accommodates one person or two slim people. It has everything needed for making meals. We didn't use the oven but used the stove top often. The refrigerator is full size. There is a coffee press for coffee drinkers. The bathroom has a large tub with a shower head and the water gets nice and hot. We used the washer and dryer in the building and after a few days we washed our clothes and hung them on the clothes rack Michael had provided. The apartment is located on the fourth floor, which is the fifth floor by US standards. There is a small elevator. Unfortunately, a few days before we left it broke. We shrugged and realized we needed the exercise, so it wasn't a big deal for us. Michael was a very good host. He met my son the day before we arrived and handed over the keys, which allowed us to check in as soon as we arrived. He also gave us tokens to use the washer and dryer. There were a couple of times I had questions and he answered promptly. Also, there is a mall very near his apartment. The bus stop is directly in front of his building.
