This is a wonderful flat, outside of the tourist-packed city central, but within walking distance of all the major attractions. Alex gave us great information about the area and flat before we arrived, so we would feel comfortable in his place. We stayed here with our 7 year old with us and we felt like the building and apartment was secure and safe for careful/older kids. The downstairs provided enough separation from the loft spaces that we weren't disturbing her. We recommend staying here!
