Ida and her husband were very welcoming and allowed us to check in early. The apartment was surprisingly quiet for being on a busy street and we all slept well. The apartment is large but has an odd floor plan owing to it being an old building remodeled. One queen size bed is in a loft accessed by metal stairs as is one of the two single beds. Probably a good fit for a couple with children (although there’s a sofa bed in the living room/kitchen). Having two bathrooms was a definite plus. The neighbourhood was rather uninspiring with heavy traffic. Walking down the narrow, steep alleys into the centre provided good exercise and interesting views of daily life. The nearest metro station was a 10 minute walk.
