The apartment was very nice, clean, comfortable. The reviews indicated a terrace but there really was not much of a terrace. The entrance to the apartment was across the small balcony, which was unusual but not a problem. There was some street noise in the bedroom but not in the rest of the apartment. It was not a big problem, but was noisier on the weekend nights. I do not normally use my phone on a trip to Europe and I needed to contact Maria for her to buzz us into the apartment. Some other alternative entry method would have been nice, but that all worked out okay.
