Though we didn't spend much time with Andrew and Markus because we were fairly busy on our trip, they were great hosts as they responded to our questions in a timely manner and checked in with us to see if we needed anything. They have a booklet of local markets, eats, and car services in the room. The studio apt. looks fairly new, even with the new paint smell (though we got used to it). It was clean with a full kitchen. It didn't really matter that we could hear footsteps above us as we typically wake up before 8am anyways and I think they were trying to be extra quiet for us. Though I could hear cars drive by at night outside our window, I was fine after I put in my earplugs or closing the window. The unit is only a few blocks from the G train and some good restaurants.
