The apartment is large & beautifully furnished. Everything has been thought of & you really have everything you need. Unfortunately, we were really unlucky with the bed. It was completely unstable, many screws were missing & the bed linens & the air conditioning smelled strongly of urine, so we slept on the sofa for three nights (!). It's also incredibly noisy. If that doesn't bother you, okay, I would have liked to have read about it in a review beforehand, because even in the roof tent we slept more peacefully than in this apartment. The neighbors are considerate, but you can hear every TV, every cough, talking and the noisy street.
