The location was really great for us. Easy on/off to the freeway and 5 minutes to the Fred Huch center where we needed to be every day. Wifi was reliable and fast. The flat is very clean and tidy. I didn't notice the road or freeway traffic, but then I live on a busy street in San Francisco. It's a good value for the price.
The street the flat is on is busy, but just one block back it's a quiet neighborhood. Mix of victorians, craftsman houses to Aloha style 60's apartments. There's 2 coffee houses, several restaurants, and a market nearby. Also about a 5 minute walk down to the lake where there's a tiny park with nice tables to drink coffee or eat lunch while you look across the lake.
This flat is perfect for europeans & those who love old houses. It's probably not the best fit for those who think stainless steel appliances, garbage disposals, granite kitchens, tile baths, etc are basic requirements.
