First let me start with the apartment is in a very safe neighborhood and within walking distance of many shops, bars, restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores and subways! We had no problem navigating the city from
this home base!
Secondly, Angelika is a lovely host!! Very responsive and so kind!
The apartment itself is older and made us feel like we were staying with our favorite aunt in the city. There was plenty of space for the 4 of us with kids in the loft. The one bathroom was great with double sinks and an amazing shower with HOT water!
What you need to be ok with is the feeling like you’re at someone’s home - Their things (toiletries) and their food items (in the fridge)
If you enjoy TV, it’s in an odd place up in the loft without great viewing options other than rue beds and a couple of chairs We had a Laptop and kids had their devices so we managed just fine.
The apartment could use a few more items to really make guests comfortable: more than 4 towels, more than 1 dish towel, more than 2 butter knives and a new set or a sharpening of the existing knives, newer pillows and an actual coffee maker ( there is a French Press and luckily I’ve had one before or we would have had to look up how to use it!). We managed to make an entire thanksgiving meal with what was there and available!
I would absolutely stay here again mainly be use of proximity and because Angelika is a gracious host! You just have to be ok with the layout and again the “things” of others.
