Mathiaes was a tremendous host. He was quick to respond to messages and his friend Melanie whom let us into the apartment was terrific. The apartment is very convenient to a number of shops, restaurants, bars and sights. However, as others have mentioned perhaps a trade off of an excellent location comes the potential for noise. Particularly later in the evening (when bar crowds are exiting) and earl am (garbage trucks and deliveries). We found the noise level to be difficult to deal with, however, the location and responsiveness of Mathiaes helped to ease these issues. Just beware that noise does exist.
