This is a weird one…
The apartment has two levels. The upper level is great: It has a fully equipped kitchen and a lot of light, because it has a large window watching over a nice little private yard. We enjoyed it when drinking our morning coffee (there was coffee and tea, and olive oil and spices and you can make yourself a nice dinner if you like).
But the bottom level, where you sleep and bathe and spend most of your time, is much less convenient. First of all, it too has a large window overlooking the yard, and it doesn't have a curtain. So you are basically living in the yard. And the bathroom, well, it also has a window to the yard (no curtain what so ever). So forget about sleeping in. The yard is closed off, so you have privacy, but if you are paranoid about being watched – this isn’t the place for you.
Except that, the apartment is like a Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon – everything comes and goes. The heating, the wifi, the drain in the shower. This didn't help to make us feel at home. The shower stays wet after you use it, so take off your socks when going in to use the toilet. And also we were woken up in the morning by the sound of water flowing in the pipeline.
Mildred was doing her best to help us, but at a certain point we were tired of calling her for every problem. So to sum up, we didn't feel very much at home in the apartment.
The apartment is located off the center, so you must switch at least one train if you are going down town. There is a daily market that you pass through on your way from the tube to the apartment. It can be a pain because it is very crowded (especially with suitcases), but the plus side is that you can get a lot of cheap, simple and tasty local food, and when I say local I mean Caribbean, Turkish and Indian.
