The apartment is nice and feels like a real home, not just an IKEA place. We were able to cook, to use the audio system and to have a nice place to rest. It's on the 4th floor, no elevator. It was a bit cold during November but we found a small heater. PLEASE NOTE: the location is good, you can walk everywhere. There is a metro station close by. BUT - I think the neighborhood is NOT friendly for families and women traveling alone. I was there with my boyfriend and we felt we need to be a bit more alert while walking in the dark. If I was alone, I wouldn't feel safe. Overall, we had a good experience.
