This apartment was as advertised and in a beautiful neighborhood, very close to shopping and the bus into town. Communication and access to the property were good. Amenities are basic but quite sufficient. I didn't try to cook but did use the laundry. The apartment is sunny with sky lights in both parts of the room- bit hard to make dark in the mornings. Didn't trouble us but if you are used to blackout curtains might be an issue. All told would stay here again.
