The location is excellent. Right next to the tower and all the tourist/transport options yet being one block over there was very little noise or traffic. The apartment is large, even by US standards. The bedrooms are at the back of the apartment, with a heavy door that blocks any sound coming from the street. The kitchen is well stocked for preparing simple meals. The beds were, sadly, hard and very uncomfortable (a foam topper would help immensely) and the furniture was not meant for relaxing or lounging--small and uncomfortable. The furnishings were also somewhat shabby (not in a chic way). The one tiny elevator fit two people and was always in use, so plan to take the stairs or wait a long time. The communication was non-existent. Despite contacting the property three different ways about parking and early check in, we never received a response. We paid $$$ for garage parking 1/2 mile away but when we arrived there was always a spot on the street for free parking, so money wasted :( I would still recommend it just for the location and the view. Especially good for a family because of all the space.
