The location could not have been better for us: it took under 10 minutes to walk to the train station, to go to the airport. The main minus, which I am sure is easily fixed, is that the shower turned cold (while my wife's hair was soaped). I then turned on the water in the kitchen, and the heater came on, so she was ok in the end. But then when I tried to take a shower, the water never got warm, so I gave up. The folding bed was ok, and although one could hear occasional steps on the stairs outside the apartment, it was minor and of no consequence.
