Nice modern place in central location with modern bathrooms. Windows provide poor isolation though, especially Saturday night was noisy with yelling party people passing by. Laundry delivery wakes you up Monday at 06:30. Kitchen only had three plates although apartment can accomdate four people. In March proper beddings instead of thin sheets would be nice.
