The apartment is modern and has nice touches, such as a wide range of cooking utensils, dish ware, etc. There are three full bathrooms (nice showers) and room for a large family, although there is a relatively small common space (living room/dining room). The balcony overlooks the main avenue and has a pretty view of a 19th c. building in front. Our experience, however, was marred by construction in the apartment directly above us which continued throughout the week (M-F). We were awakened at 8am by incredibly loud hammering, sawing, and at one point what felt like jack-hammering. We complained right away and did receive a small (10%) discount and promised that the workers were finished with heavy construction. Yet when the noise continued (and indeed, grew worse), this refund felt inadequate given the expense of the apartment. (We were told that no further discounting was possible.). In short, you should ask and make sure there is no construction in any of the adjacent apartments before you go. The walls are relatively thin and you will undoubtedly suffer as we did for most of our stay, especially around 8am-12noon.
