Julia's studio apartment is cute, very clean, and extremely well-located! There are tons of great restaurants, cafes, and parks. I traveled as a solo female traveler, and never once felt uncomfortable walking around in the neighborhood, even at night. While I didn't get a chance to meet Julia in-person, she was very accommodating and responsive over text (she even let me keep my luggage at her own home nearby while I spent my last day roaming the City before my late evening flight).
Two things to note about the physical space:
- The apartment is up three flights of stairs at the top of the building. The last set of stairs is a small spiral staircase, which can make it difficult to carry bulky items. So heads up if you have immobility concerns or you are coming with big/heavy luggage!
- If you're a light sleeper, you may want to bring ear plugs. The front door is made of glass, so is not entirely soundproof and you can hear noises from the street, etc. While the floor and neighborhood were mostly quiet, there were a couple of instances in which I was woken up in the middle of the night (again, this is mainly because I am a light sleeper!).
However, for the price, it was worth it, and I would definitely stay at her apartment again! Thanks for a great stay, Julia!
