The location of the apartment is quite good – close to restaurants and metro stations, etc – but the apartment and room are not noisy at all since they don’t face the street. It’s about a 15 min walk to the main museums. A few prostitutes always around the building, but they were not a bother. Despite the other reviews, we did not find the bed to be comfortable. My husband is not particularly tall (5’10”; 180cm) and his feet would hang over the end of the mattress and you could feel the springs in the mattress. No complaints about the bathroom. The kitchen was listed as “freely available” and “fully equipped” but we were asked to stick to “simple” cooking. The kitchen is really only equipped for simple cooking anyway but we managed to cook our meals without any problem. There is only a tiny fridge, so don’t plan on doing much shopping anyway.
