The location is CENTRAL and very close to the train station. It made it easy to get around. The apartment had everything I needed, and it was quite spacious. I appreciated that the host responded quickly to my questions.
The apartment was not VERY clean. There was hair on the pillows. I had to ask for clean pillowcases. the bed was not comfortable. I woke up with back pain every morning.
