Pros:
This location is super convenient. It is a quick walk to restaurants, shops, site seeing, the train, etc. The view from the balcony is so cute and the neighborhood feels safe. The flat itself is quite big and was the perfect size for three women staying a week. We loved that there was a washer and clothes line so that we could do laundry during our stay. We also found that the shower always had hot water, which was great! The host was an excellent communicator, quick to answer questions, giving thorough information and getting us what we needed- she even provided extra towels upon our request. Plus you can’t beat the price.
Cons (most of which were no fault of the host!): As shared in the description and other reviews, it is a bit noisy outside due to the surrounding bars (especially since we stayed during the World Cup) but the shutters helped muffle that. What was more disturbing was how loud the downstairs flat neighbors were- yelling in the hallway and having kids running up and down the stairs all hours of the day and night. The flat also always smelled of cigarette smoke if the windows were open from folks smoking outside below. Aside from these external factors, the only other con is that the couch was super dirty with stains covering it (the rest of the place was super clean), which we didn’t feel good about sitting on. Lastly, the beds are very firm (not everyone’s thing) and the pillows could use replacing but the sheets are soft and the blankets are warm!
