I am usually reluctant to leave anything but a 5-star review. However, I was forced to cancel my stay at the apartment due to very loud and constant construction work going on in the building and at another site across the street. The first night that I was there (a Friday night) there was heavy drilling going on past 8pm. And the next day, the work started right back up in the morning and was ongoing all day, until I finally had to cancel the reservation and move into a new place. I do not blame the hosts for this issue, as this is not under their control. However, it made the experience rather unbearable. And I would recommend that this issue should be made known to any future guest before booking the apartment. Also, the boiling hot water in the shower that has been mentioned in previous comments, is still an issue. With all that being said, Claudia was kind in her communications and I appreciated very much that she allowed me to drop off my bags earlier than the official check-in time so that a number of refrigerated items I had would not spoil.
