First off I want to say the apartment itself was great. The bedrooms are large and bright and the living area suited us well. There were only three in our party though, so I’m not sure the living space would accommodate many more. The kitchen was nice and a washer is always a bonus. This one is difficult to work if you aren’t used to European appliances. Instructions inside the apartment would be beneficial. There are two bathrooms off the kitchen with no ventilation, so that was a little odd too.
If you want to bar hop you can NOT go wrong with this apartment. The location is on a very busy street and there are people out all times of day. The shopping is pretty great too.
Now, on to the negative part. As I said, if you’re coming to party this is definitely the spot. However, we were on the last leg of our trip and really just wanted a place to relax. This is NOT that place. The noise is quite literally non-stop. There are partiers yelling outside until the early morning hours and on weekends it seems that they never leave. Also, the reason the area is so clean is because the sanitation teams work every single night. And they are very, very loud.
One last thing, there is currently construction going on in the building. They don’t start until 10am but because of the noise every evening we were rarely able to sleep before 1-2. Believe me when I say noisy. This isn’t an occasional party spot, it’s daily/nightly and we never had a moment of quiet. Ear plugs do help, but not much.
I will say the host was very kind and responded immediately when I requested another apartment. They weren’t able to accommodate, but did refund a part of my stay for the inconvenience.
