The apartment is just as depicted in the images in a nice quiet neighborhood. Everything was clean, and while the building seemed a bit old, the furniture and appliances were new and in great condition. Communication was swift and clear with the hosts, but my only remark is that there are several other tenants in this building, and you could hear their speech and movements quite a bit. Sometimes it sounded almost like they were in apartment itself. Overall, though, it was a lovely space to stay in, and I certainly recommend it if you don't mind a little neighbor noise.
