We ended up in another apartment actually because this one had problems with the heating (which we got informed before). So I can only speak of that apartment which was not that far from the original one. We had a really nice stay, the subway station into the city was not far away, about a nice 10 minute walk and the trains ran every 10 minutes. So it never took us long to get into the city. The area was nice and quite and Julia was very nice in responding to all our needs. We'll gladly stay there again!
