I loved staying in this apartment: it was cheerful, big, commodious, with excellent books to read, and very close to the subway into town. Right around the corner are terrific cafes and restaurants. The apartment itself was clean, cheerful, and very big for a studio. I was unable to get the t.v. to function when I arrived and wrote to Ildiko and she came down and sorted out the situation immediately, with good cheer, and showed me how to get the tv working. She was always extremely responsive and nice. The outside garden space is lovely. I'm very sensitive to noise and was bothered by the footfalls overhead of Idilko, who lives in the apartment above and was home during the day. But then, I rented the apartment as a space to do writing while my apartment was under construction. I think most others would find the apartment quiet. I would very happily stay in this lovely apartment again.
