This apartment is very well-located in a hip part of town. The terrace is amazing. We spent many lovely afternoons drinking wine and playing cards out there. It is worth mentioning, though, that the apartment is over the metro tunnel, so every 2-3 minutes you hear a train pass through underground. That being said, it really didn't end up bothering me or my friend that much, nor did it keep us awake at night. It becomes white noise pretty quick. There is also a bar next door that, depending on the night, can get pretty loud until very late, so this is not the place for you if you really value the quiet. The neighborhood is lively, energetic and active - there was a street festival and two bandstands erected while we were there. We really felt like we were getting the local experience. One other small thing: the listing said washer and dryer when we booked it, but it was really just a washer. There was a clothesline on the terrace that worked very well for drying though, so it wasn't a problem. Klaus' local counterpart, Alex, picked us up and dropped us off at the airport (for a fee), so that was very convenient. Alex was friendly and gave us some great day trip suggestions as well as answered all our questions. I didn't meet Klaus, but he was responsive via email and made sure to put me in touch with Alex as our arrival drew near. All in all, a pleasant stay with some small quirks.
