The apartment is indeed a bit funky, a good size and generally comfortable. It is located in a really good area close to the metros and Within walking distance of almost everything I wanted to visit.
There are a few things that could use updating such as the kettles which are very old and beat up and the pans for cooking should be replaced.
Something to think about if you are there late fall/Winter, only half the apartment is heated. The 2 bedrooms and the common area are heated but you need to leave all the doors shut for it to be effective. The kitchen, hallways and the shower room are not heated (shower is separate room from toilet). It would have been good to know that ahead of time.
It seems that there is work being done on the adjoining building and it can be a little annoying in the morning. But if you are out all day it should not be a problem.
Rosa, the woman who met me was very charming and friendly!
All in all I did enjoy my stay.
