This apartment is in a great location and appears just as it is in the photos. What you do not see is that the windows with drapes (living room and bedroom) look into an air shaft and the elevator shaft. No fresh air. The elevator is of no use to guests as it is half way up between ground floor and first floor (20 stairs to the outer apartment door). The apartment itself is very well lit and you will feel quite secure as there are three locked doors (street door, door at top of 20 stairs and actual apartment door. The bed and living room furniture were comfortable and the towels were nice. There was tea, coffee, and laundry soap in the kitchen. The washer was good and appreciated.
