It is really useful that the apartment comes with access to a dryer which drys a load of washing in an hour and an elevator to the 3rd floor makes getting bags up the apartment painless.
Apartment overlooks a pedestrianized plaza with a covered food market open daily Mon-Sat and is ringed by various shops selling hardware, clothing. vegetables, meat, bread, wine and small cafe/bars.
Because the plaza has no car or bike traffic it is remarkably quite at night and in the early morning for a location in a large city.
Subway is just a couple of minutes walk away to go down town with a 10 ride ticket costing just over 10 Euro.
There are a few medium sized Consum supermarkets within walking distance open 12 hours a day Mon-Sat and even one three minutes walk away which opens on Sunday.
