The host was a pleasure to communicate with and was very helpful and responsive. The doormen were also very nice and the neighborhood was great.
The only downside to our stay were the extremely annoying and loud German shepherd dogs on the rooftop of the building immediately next to the bedrooms. They kept us up for many hours with their often incessant barking.
We realize that this may be somewhat beyond the control of the owner so we don't want to be too critical or exaggerate this point--indeed, as we walked around we heard barking dogs in other areas, too, and we imagine they serve as security aides for some homeowners.
We would also hasten to note that the owners were immediately responsive to our concerns and said they contacted the owner of the dogs on our second to last day. Unfortunately, however, this didn't improve the problem and the dogs were as noisy as ever on our last night, keeping us up until about 3am with their loud barking. They got started again in the morning at the slightest hint of noise or commotion in the building or on the street.
In the end, we hope we don't sound too negative because everything else about the apartment was wonderful. It was nicely appointed, fastidiously clean, and the doormen were professional and very pleasant. Most importantly, you can't beat the location!
I'd highly recommend a stay here though you may want to ask ahead about the dogs.
