Our family of four stayed here in the middle of our European vacation. It was a perfect place to spread out, relax, have a few home cooked meals, and do laundry before the final leg of our trip. There are two grocery stores downstairs as well as a coffeehouse and some restaurants. It has a very nice gym. And a few blocks away is a great area where people swim in the canal, play sand volleyball and basketball and picnic along the waters edge. The apartment is in a residential area, out of the tourist hustle and bustle, but still very close to everything. We never really figured out an easy way for transportation. There is no Uber, never saw a taxi in the neighborhood and it's a mile to a metro stop. So I would not recommend the location for small children or elderly. But for us, it worked out great. There are orange bikes all over town and one of the drop stations is on the same block so we just grabbed bicycles every day and within 10-20 minutes we could ride anywhere we wanted to. It was a great way to see the city. There is no air conditioning, but there were a lot of windows for cross breeze and ventilation. Property management is very attentive and they have a website for the apartment with a lot of helpful information about the area and the property. We only stayed 3 nights. Wish we would have spent a week.
