James was a wonderful host and we could not have hoped for better or more responsive communication. The apartment is centrally located, however, on a side street with a café just below and ambient sound. We were there during a very unusual hot spell. The portable air conditioning unit requires the hose to be out the window so we were unable to block out the outside noise. Additional fans did help. Very spacious, clean & bright! Beds were super comfortable. And loved being so close to the lake where we swam to cool off.
