The apartment was comfortable and well equipped. Location was fantastic!! Convenient to everything and I think we had the best view in the city of the New Year's fireworks. We watched several lovely sunsets from the balcony. There isn't a lot of space to hang out other than in bed, or at the dining room table, but hanging out in the apartment isn't what you are there for and if the weather is nice, you may never want to leave the balcony anyway. There is a washing machine and no dryer, but with the sun and the breeze, drying clothes on the line on the balcony was faster than many dryers we have used!
