Joachim's apartment was a delight to live in for 2 days. I arrived (the morning after my friend Sarah because of a flight issue) and immediately felt right at home when I walked through the door. The two bedrooms are both snug & cozy, and filled with interesting objects and artwork (I felt like I was living in a European film). The kitchen was cute and well-stocked (was especially thankful for the chilled water in the fridge). The bathroom is teeny-tiny, but hey, live a little-- I figured, I'm here to see the city all day not shower! (I guess what I'm saying is, this did not bother me or Sarah, but it might bother other people-- use your own judgement)
Also, the street the apartment is on was definitely one of the coolest places we explored during the trip as well-- full of boutiques, interesting and decadent restaurants and bakeries, and complete with a specialty coffeeshop just up the road.
Joachim himself was super helpful and understanding, a real angel. He always responded promptly and gave us great recommendations on places to eat and visit.
Overall, we had an seriously amazing time in the city and the experience was only made better by our accommodation (Bonus Note: Sarah and I are also young women & we were so happy to feel so safe in the neighborhood and comfortable in the apartment itself)
If you love your accommodation to feel like you are staying at your friend's clean and cozy apartment (or just want to pretend you are a super artsy and cool European for a while), this is the spot for you!
