    Lovely apartment in a strategic location, but beware the road noise if you are a light sleeper

    + Cute small apartment with kitchen in an excellent location.

    Don’t book this place if you are a light sleeper: all the windows face the street directly, and there is heavy car and bus traffic until late into the night. For the bed, an option to choose a firmer foam pillow would be a major improvement. Also, as others have already pointed out, the entrance to the building and stairwell are quite grim - maybe the other owners could be convinced to share the cost of a coat of paint?

    + The location was excellent, and it was beautifully decorated. Communication with owners was great and there was lots of information provided about the area and the fringe.
