All was as described *except* the bed was very uncomfortable for two average size adults. It sagged in the middle so we kept waking to keep from rolling into each other, and it was very squeaky when one of us shifted. We did not sleep well at all as a result. A shame, bc otherwise it was clean and well located. We would not stay again.

The apartment is very cold. I understand the building management control the heat, but only 2 of the 3 radiators work. The kitchen radiator valve is open but no heat. Once we found a space heater (stored in a closet) it got much better.

Great place to stay. It was easy to settle in and relax after a long day of traveling. The bed was comfortable and great to sleep on. Will definitely try for this property again if I need to come to the area.
