This apartment is gorgeous with vaulted ceilings and a great amount of space. The balcony is long, planted with beautiful flowers and overlooks a calm courtyard. Birds visit frequently! The floors are artistically laid wood design in the main home and a cool temperature-holding tile in the bedrooms.
The location is in an active part of the city and it is a 10 min walk to the nearest train station, which we used a lot. There is a health food store about 15 min walk away, which is important to my husband and I since we are vegans and prefer to make most of our meals in the kitchen (unless we are home in Los Angeles where vegans got it good!).
The internet was fast and reliable, too, and the neighbors are friendly. There is a tiny elevator to bring your luggage up and down. A warm and welcoming space overall.
One drawback, there is quite a bit of exhaust and noise that comes in from the street, which wraps around two sides of the building. Closing the outside windows will keep the exhaust out and some of the noise, but it does remain loud, so take this in to consideration if you are a light sleeper, like me. If you do close those windows, it does get stagnant and hot in the apartment. A few floor fans would be a good solution for this dichotomy in the future. Easy peasy.
