What drew us to this flat was the location, it was very close to the capital and many of the museums. Also, very close to the bus stops which was our main mode of transportation for the week. The flat is so close to all the main attractions that the metro was rarely necessary. The neighborhood felt safe and clean, and we felt right at home. The flat was clean and comfortable. Like the other reviewers, we heard the foot steps from the apartment above but it was not too much of an issue as we were prepared with a sound machine for the evenings. The hosts provinces great customer service and were very nice. Our only complaint would be the lack of window coverings in the main living area.
