Carlos is a great host, he greeted me and helped us up with the luggage (building has elevators), then we went over the neighborhood and the city attractions on a map. The apartment is spot on in the middle of the city, which is great for quickly reaching everywhere. The outside noise and singing are muted by new Rehau doors. The only issue can be the noise made by others in the building, which can propagate through the interior staircase and apartment ceiling.
