Caroline's place is probably much better during the fall/winter. My family of 4 stayed there during the summer and the place just didn't meet our needs. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is incredibly loud - you can hear everything that is said outside and everyone that walks by. And, during the summer, you need to open the windows as there is no AC so that makes the noise unbearable. Open windows also equals many bugs this time of year. It was extremely hot inside the apartment. No one in my family was able to sleep. Additionally, the apartment was not properly cleaned before we got there (there was dirt and hair floating in the bathtub and other things like that). That being said, the apartment was very centrally located, the main bed was extremely comfortable, and Caroline has very clear and helpful instructions. To summarize, it all depends on what's important to you (i.e cleanliness vs. location).
