Location cannot be beat...every place we wanted to go was within a few hundred meters. Noise was not bad at all, considering the central location...I guess the 4 ft thick walls help. Bathroom was quite small...some paperwork was difficult...but everything worked well.
Did not cook, but fridge and dishes were great for snacks. Bed was great, apartment was very attractive, and there was even cable TV!
While there is a parking lot across the street, the closest overnight lot was apparently about 5 blocks away. Not too bad (cash only, €20 from 6pm to 10 am). Found some good shops along the way.
