We do not live in a city and were struck how quiet the place was. The location and overall apt is as described. Using public transit is very convenient from there. We met the hosts daughter since the host was out of town. She was friendly and kindly willing to store our luggage for us our last day until we headed to the airport.
Since its cold outside now, we felt a breeze coming through the air conditioner. Also it's and old building and some times the heat would not come on for hours. We could couldn't figure out how or if you could control the radiator from the room. Also check the fridge temp when you arrive as it was on high and froze all our food, could happen anywhere though.
Overall, great location, quiet clean and cozy place.
