Apt is clean and looks exactly like the pictures. It was a solid 10-15 walk to tube stations (and I am a NYer who walks fast). I personally was fine with it, but it was a bit laborious for the kids every day who aren't used to commuting. Keep that in mind if you are traveling with younger/older/walking challenged people. The apt was clean and the towels fluffy/smelled fresh. 5 things for Americans to note (and yes, I travel quite a bit in Europe so this isn't my 1st trip over by any means!): (1) there is no AC in this unit, so if you go when it is warm out you will be hot as apt is on the 2nd & 3rd floors. Over Easter it was in the high 60's - mid 70's and sleeping at night in a hot room was challenging. (2) the windows do not open all the way, they are on see-saw hinges in the middle, meaning they open up a few inches at the top and a few at the bottom, which doesn't allow for a lot of air flow. (3) there are no screens, so if you open up the windows, there may be a fly or mosquito that gets in depending on time of year. (4) there is no clothes dryer. (5) at the time I went there was no manual on how to exactly use the appliances, including the microwave. I have asked the host to fix this because things aren't obvious on how to use... Response time by host was generally good and she is very polite.
