The pictures don't do the balcony view justice. It was incredible to wake up and walk into the living room to have light streaming in. The balcony is south facing and unobstructed, so if the weather is good, you have sunlight on it for most of the day. Add to that the large blanket and well sized balcony chairs, it is incredibly comfortable to relax on the balcony even at 2 am with a glass of wine! The kitchen has everything I needed to cook my own meals, and it was all clean. The AC unit works well to cool the apartment down, as well as to heat it up on a cold February evening. The bed and pillows were comfortable and clean. The host was kind enough to lend me a phone charger. The shower has enough hot water for a 15-20 minute shower, after which you will have to wait a little for the water to heat up again.
Very cosy apartment, great for couples, quiet location, easy to get to the subway and local buses.
