The apartment was very clean. It is also very cute and both the bed and the sofa bed were comfortable. It is an awesome location for sightseeing with many great restaurants nearby. The hosts have a list of some super recommendations for eating nearby, and thorough instructions for everything in the apartment. However, it is really, really loud at night. It was too stuffy to sleep with all the windows closed, but with the windows cracked open you will be bombarded with the noise from the Close, a lot of which comes from the Youth Hostel and the pub nearby (and people coming and going to both). We were there four nights and it was rarely quiet before 3 am. So if you plan to be out and about at night or you are a deep sleeper, this is an amazing apartment. Since we were there for work and had a child with us, it was probably not the greatest fit for us.
