This apartment is really in the center of it all! You can walk everywhere - including central station and metros. The hosts were fantastic with communication - very responsive, including promptly addressing a sink problem that might have been our own error, and delivering extra towels. As other reviewers have noted, being on the first floor and in summer especially, it is really loud and somewhat smoky from the 4 or 5 bars/cafes/restaurants that are immediately in front of and alongside the apartment.
