the flat is on the highest floor, so there are some stairs to climb but its manageable. the flat is in good condition. one has to know how to turn on the heating system especially during the winter months. but luckily the host is responsive and sends someone over to look at whatever that isn't functioning. it is usually fixed within a couple of hours so that's good. one can hear the neighbours a little, but its not a problem if you are not super sensitive. overall verdict is positive.
