The location is close to everything and the apartment was clearn. If you have car parking on the street is expensive and you haveto change car location every 4 hours. The Ringgo parking app will not work with a US phone number. You have to call Ringgo. The beds sink and are uncomfortable for two people. You can't block the sunlight coming in the rooms, making a bedtime before 10pm difficult. You can't close the blinds unless you climb on the window ledge and reach up still to grab the rope. The walls are thin so you hear the neighbors talking into the night.
