A well appointed apartment in the northern area surrounded by bars and restaurants

The apartment is lovely, intriguingly laid out with an eye to detail. It is a perfect base, there are 4 (count 'em, 4!) fridges, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 1 living area, plus a central hallway. We did not lack for space :) Or aircon :D Or peace & quiet - we joked about the rest of the building (silent) housing only ghosts ! To be fair, the "kitchen" is a tiny cubbyhole but as long as we used it one at a time, not a problem and all the facilities present and working. Maid service came every weekday and the place was kept absolutely spotless. As for exploring the city, the area is calm and safe, and a 20-30 minute stroll from the Old Town along interesting streets. We did this walk often, at all times of the day and night, and always found something else to look at while feeling a lot more relaxed than some UK cities we've been out in. Or you can take the bus there, for pennies. The owner was very helpful and responsive to the couple of queries we did have.

The only rather silly thing was the key collection on arrival. We'd done our research on Google Street View and thought we'd nailed it - the black, wrought iron gate next to the cafe, a key safe with code (e.g.) 12345, key within... except it didn't work. The reason being that on the main street, the other side of the cafe, there is a black, wrought iron gate next to the cafe, and a key safe with the same code :o. To be fair, the owner turned up within 5 minutes of our call and quickly pointed us to the right place :D

Spacious rooms, every room has AC and a fridge.

the host is very friendly and fast on reply, the apartment is clean and very well-maintained. it is located in the old building at 5th floor, there is an elevator, but rated to 160kg max. inside the apartment has a nice combination of old-school wooden floor and modern bathrooms and rooms are well decorated. the kitchen is tiny, literally for 1 person, but comfortable enough for travel stay and also has most of the necessary appliances. location is fantastic, plenty of supermarkets available nearby as well as museums, restaurants and easy access to public transportation. bus 100 took us directly from the airport almost straight to the building entrance, very convenient. rideshare apps like Bolt and Uber are easy to use and work well in Bucharest as well
