The apartment is in a quiet residential area, but is close to main streets/stores/food. Emma, the house caretaker, was very nice in our email responses and we were welcomed with a bottle of wine and some coffee beans. The apartment is in the basement (entrance is on the side of the main house), but was very spacious. One thing to note is that there are low ceilings near the entryway and bedroom (could potentially be an issue if you were over 6’1”-2”), but overall, we had a great experience and would recommend!
