The location of the apartment was wonderful, within walking distance of popular locations and 5 minutes walk to the subway station. The apartment looks like the pictures detail, it is a fairly large apartment which made us not feel crammed on top of one another. We are a family of 4 and my parents from the United States, so we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of space to feel private from each other. Also, the elevator was nice as this was a few floors up and my mom doesn't get up the stairs so well; in addition to getting our luggage into the apartment the first day. The bakery under the apartment was nice and very cheap to grab a quick breakfast and coffee each morning. There are plenty of restaurants around the corner for an evening dinner. Some items that could be improved on:
*The trash cans were not emptied from the previous guests; and there were only two small trash cans. A can in the kitchen would be nice. We purchased more trash bags and kept them by the entryway.
*The dishwasher, washer, and dryer did not operate correctly when we were there. During check-in, they went over very quickly how to operate the washing machine. However, having written instructions for these appliances would be nice. We planned to wash some clothes as we were headed out on a cruise for 7 days after this trip and we weren't able to.
*Directions from where the Aerobus drops off to the apartment were difficult for us to decide where we were headed. In hindsight, I would take a taxi next time as we were not familiar with any of the area.
Overall, we were happy with the apartment and would stay here again. If you're like us who were headed out on a cruise, it is a 20-minute cab ride from the apartment and it was very easy to get a cab across the street.
