The apartment is very clean and centrally located so you can pretty much get everywhere on foot which is great. It has a small balcony that the guests can use. There are 4 rooms, some rented to airbnb guests, some rented out permanently. The door to the room opens directly onto the kitchen, right between the stove and the refrigerator, so you can hear and smell everything happening in the kitchen which is normal in a shared house. For the first week of my 12 day stay one of the permanent residents was on an early schedule so would be up everyday at 5am cooking in the kitchen, and not just coffee and toast, full on meals with the preparation, cooking and clean up involved all audible through the thin wall separating the room from the kitchen...the second week it was the same but at 7am. I mentioned this to Maria and she said the guest had the right to use the kitchen any time he wanted...fair enough. So all in all I think this is a good place to stay if you don't mind the early morning noise and cooking smells everyday.
