We had a great stay at Knut's place. We loved the area with all the murals and artistic feel. It is only a 5 to 10 minute walk to the main centre and maybe 15 to 20 minutes walk to the beach. The pub below the apartment is only open sporadically and closes early enough, so it did not bother us too much. It is apartment living in a busy city, so you would expect some level of road and other noise. The apartment had everything we needed and it was kept nice and cool with the aircon. There was also a big fan in the bedroom. Communication with Knut was great also. All in all , a great city apartment for great value.
