The apartment is clean and cozy and has all of the amenities needed. It's located on a canal just outside of the central area, but is within walking distance and the Metro and bus are very close. The area is quiet, clean and safe. Joke provided great directions on how to get to the apartment from the train station via the Metro (watch out for the bikes!!). There's a lovely restaurant with outdoor seating just two doors down that we visited for breakfast. The stairs are steep and the hallway can be dark at night, so learn where the light switches are before you head out! :)
