Wonderful stay - thank you!!! Check-in was wonderful and thoughtful touches such as some coffee pods for us to get started after a long flight. Quick communication from the host - which is always important. Clean, wonderful layout/decor, and great location!! Close to two different subway stops ... small supermarket just across the street ... and well located to the sites we want to see. Close to Timeout market. Noise is not a worry at all from our experience. The building is on a street that has a slope and then there is several flights of stairs to get to the third floor (both not that uncommon in Europe). We manage just fine even with my kid and elderly parents with big luggages; it's worthwhile to consider if this matters to you or if you're not used to it. For us, it's a perfect and wonderful stay!!
