The apartment is practical, spacious and comfortable. The private parking spot was very convenient for us as we came by car. However I was disappointed that the apartment was actually not quiet at all. The building entrance is indeed on a quieter side street, but the living room and bedroom face a very busy road. The traffic noise is very audible inside at all hours of the day - despite the double glazed windows. Light sleepers like myself will definitely need earplugs for a restful night.
