The reviewer who described this unit as "rough around the edges" more or less captured my experience staying there. This is something that isn't especially well communicated in the photos or description. The garden and living room were definitely not "as pictured." I agree with other commenters that cleaning could be an issue (in my case, the problem was with the dishes). I also agree that there needs to be a cutlery upgrade. The noise was no more than what you'd expect in an urban setting where homes are set close to each other, and the neighborhood is generally quiet. Just be prepared for a 7 a.m. frenzy of barking when the next-door neighbor lets their dog out. Otherwise, I found the apartment spacious, comfortable, and well appointed (although the furnishings are weirdly oversized given the size of the rooms). I would certainly stay there again (but might bring my own cutlery!). I didn't receive any instructions on how to access the apartment, but these can be found on the confirmation message.
