I would recommend this flat to a group of friends/family. The light and location are excellent - cafes and shopping right below. Beautiful large windows let you people-watch and really feel at the heart of things. Lowering the metal blinds at night was very effective at shutting out any street noise; the air con helps if it is warm. Rui was very open and accommodating, and arranged a great river cruise for our group of adults and teenagers. The flat is large enough for small children not to feel cooped up. There was some smell from the drains outside in one corner of the flat (the shared bathroom stalls), but this can be managed by keeping the main door of that room ajar.
