The host was wonderful to work with and met us in a nearby square to help guide us to the apartment. The flat was comfortable and well kept. They provide nice amenities (loved that they had coffee and laundry soap) and the bedding and towels were good. We would have liked a few more pillows but we felt the pillows in all the places we stay in were flat. It seems like the couch is not the one in the picture but my daughter slept in it and was very comfortable. The first evening the noise from people in the street and surrounding area was a bit much but we adapted to it quickly. They had window covers for all the windows to keep out the light except for the one window that faced the bed. We appreciated that there were many restuarants in the area and it was an easy walk across the river. I would recommend staying here to all of my friends (as long as they physically could handle the stairs).
