  : This apartment has everything you want, everything you need, and more. The bathroom and kitchen are fully equipped, and the host even left fresh fruit and 2 bottles of water for me in the kitchen. The apartment is very cozy and gives great vibes. I felt right at home here. The location is perfect, only a few metres away from Piaa Mare. Still, when you're inside the apartment, you don't notice much (in terms of noise) from the fact that you're right in the city centre. The apartment faces a courtyard (I hope that's the right word), and also has windows that isolate well enough to make sure it's mostly quiet inside. Only if you're very sensitive to low frequency noise (like I am), you will notice the equipment that is used by the stores in the neighbourhood. This noise stopped after 10 p.m. (as far as I could tell). I appreciated that there was air conditioning. The A/C unit is a bit noisy (I've heard quieter units), but I did sleep very well with the A/C on. I met the host, Bianca, in person. She was friendly and hospitable. I also met the neighbour, who was equally friendly and helpful.
  : The kitchen could have been cleaner. There were remains (breadcrumbs etc) in the sandwich toaster (or 'pie iron', whatever it's called). The tiles behind the stove were fatty, etc. The curtains don't block the light very well. I woke up with the sunrise (a bit after 6 a.m.). There isn't really a conveniently placed power outlet for a phone charger. You don't have many options if you want to use your phone while charging it.
