Hope's place is a lovely place to stay and jump around the city from. We visited over the break between Christmas and New Years and found it to be nice and snug and warm. Others have expressed that it may be dark in the apartment, and depending on when you are travelling that may be a concern. In the summer I can imagine you would want it nice and bright and sunny, but in the winter that darkness felt like a warm blanket.
Very conveniently located, you can walk to different trains, or just walk as we did, to most places. A lovely restaurant is downstairs if you are feeling peckish.
Hope is very responsive and great at communicating with the guests.
