Overall experience was positive. Pros: (i) Excellent location right in the center of the city and within walking distance of most major sites -- with wonderful views of the canal and neighboring houses; (ii) good communication/responsiveness; (iii) very good mattress and good bathroom and shower; (iv) light-filled, pleasant rooms. Cons: (i) Kitchen is limited (e.g. no pantry, half refrigerator); (ii) bedroom windows did not effectively block light (both morning and at night); (iii) sheets had bleach stains and bedspread frayed; (iv) building's large front door has complicated lock and requires considerable strength to open; and (v) not for light sleepers given street noise. Also, apartment works best for a single or couple; second "bedroom" works better as a common space/living room.
