First off it was our first time ( my daughter n I) in this city n what a wonderful city it is - should have stayed longer - Astrid apartment is in a great central location a short walk to the river n convenient store n everything else - we rented some good bikes best way to get around the city - bunch of cool bars n restaurants right next door. This is a young foody city in some ways reminds me of Portland Oregon - Baest was our favorite restaurant we visited . Apartment is in very nice old building n you have to have no issues going up n down steep stairs three stories. The apartment itself is a large (for Europe) one bedroom n very bright /charming with a beautiful balcony as other reviewers said much better than the pictures. We had no issues finding the place n got the keys from Astrid friend - had to jiggle the key to apartment door a bit in order to lock it besides that we had everything for a comfortable stay -Astrid was very nice n prompt n helped us to get a way to leave our bikes inside the courtyard overnight - overall a most wonderful apartment n a great host .
