Karen is a wonderful host, very welcoming and kind. We enjoyed our stay and felt at home right away! There are lots and lots of amenities in the apartment - from tourist maps and leaflets to kitchen accessories and lots of food items, and supplies in the bathroom: nothing was missing. The location is very quiet and yet close to public transportation and the lake. The bathroom was recently renovated, while the rest of the apartment is older, but well maintained. The air-con is quite loud, so we left it on during the day and switched it off at night, which was totally fine in terms of comfort (the apartment cooled down enough during the day). Parking on the street can be tricky, but there is a public parking lot around the corner where we could leave our car overnight (or longer) for a reasonable fee. I can't say enough what a great host Karen is: she even mailed us the shoes that my daughter had forgotten!! Thank you, Karen!
