I stayed at this apartment for six weeks. This apartment is pretty well described in other reviews. The neighborhood isn't the most beautiful, but the flat is walking distance to the metro, some good restaurants, and one of the better gyms in the city. The school can be loud, but like another reviewer said, it's a happy sound that didn't bother me. The balcony is beautiful and it gets good sun in the morning, perfect for your morning coffee. The apartment itself has good AC and heat, there was even a little space heater which was nice. On the downside, the apartment was left in a bit of a dirty state when I moved in. There was some trash left behind but the most important parts (bed, bathroom, kitchen) were all clean. There are some broken mirrors and knobs, and the washing machine is a bit tricky. The hot water leaks in the kitchen sink, so you have to turn it on and off at the shutoff below coming out of the wall-- little things like that aren't a big deal, but keeps it from 5 stars.
