This was our second stay in 3 weeks. We love the apartment for its size, location, and cleanliness, as well as the washing machine! This time we were there on a weekend night and it was noisy, including city garbage pickup at 2AM! We are sure the noise level would have been much lower if we had closed the windows but the weather was so nice, we chose to not do that. The pictures of the apartment are accurate. The host communicated by e-mail and text. We were met by the housekeeper, who does not speak English but is very nice and helpful. We expect to return in the future.
