Location, location, LOCATION! This unit is located DIRECTLY across the street from the train station and in the heart of the city center. For those who are concerned about the noise, the unit had French doors and full length shutters and we weren't bothered by the noise at all. The only time we heard street-noise was when an ambulance was speeding by...but then again, regardless if you're on a private residential street or across the from train station, there's no way of avoiding ambulance sirens and flashing lights. The unit is not huge (it's a studio), but the space was utilized very well. We as a couple, never felt like we were on top of one another in this studio. The place was immaculately clean! One thing to keep in mind, the hot water heater is somehow linked to the hot towel warming bar on the shower wall. This towel bar REALLY radiates the bathroom. When I took my first shower, there was no hot water. Turns out the previous guest turned off the hot water tank in order to turn off the towel warming bar. We followed suit and turned this off during the day so that the bathroom wouldn't get too toasty. It's very easy to turn the hot water heater on/off; this is located in the closet right outside of the bathroom. Fatima left us with some refreshments, which was a nice treat. The building was very safe. Not only was their a big iron gate that gets closed at night, but beyond the gate is the main entrance to the building, which requires a key to enter. Right downstairs from the unit are cafes, souvenir shops and a bank. Never once did we feel uncomfortable on this block. The building does not have an elevator and the unit is 2 floors up (more like 2.5 - 3 stories in the US). If someone has problems climbing stairs then this may not be the right place to book. Thanks Fatima for a great stay!
