The location was amazing! It's in a desirable neighborhood and there was minimal noise at nighttime, even though there was plenty going on out on the street. There are cute shops and restaurants steps away from the apartment. There seemed to be a bit of strange smell sometimes, but nothing too bad. We just opened the beautiful windows to let fresh air come in and it was all good. The host was lovely and responsive. Something that's important to mention: if you're very reliant on wifi, make sure you can tether with your phone just in case. There was internet, but it wasn't always reliable. We let the host know and she did her best to resolve that issue, but it was not perfect. Overall, we had a great stay! The apartment was full of character and food gives. Last thing- the bed is VERY comfortable and the bedroom is very pleasant. We would definitely stay again!
