We loved our stay! We were looking for a comfortable space suitable for a longer stay with easy tube access. This was perfect. We felt safe in the flat and walking around the neighborhood at night. A few items to note, but this is only so you can pack accordingly: The flat is located up a flight of fairly narrow stairs. There is a washing machine, but no dryer. We set up the drying rack (provided) in the kitchen and even our jeans dried in 1 day. The bathroom is very small - especially the shower. There isn’t a shelf for soap or shampoo, and we found it difficult to bend down to pick up items from the floor. They provided a large, communal bottle of shampoo and body wash. No bars of soap and no washcloths. A travel sized soap/shampoo with a suction cup for the wall might be your best bet. The flat is on a busy street, but noise didn’t bother us. When we arrived and tried to nap during the day, I just used a white noise app. The mattress is very thin. In the US we wouldn’t consider it a mattress - it would be a mattress topper. It appeared to be 4” thick foam. It was firmer than we’re used to, but still slept soundly.
