Nice studio apartment near the tram

We live in the area but had a leak in our water system, so I rented the apartment for a week to take showers and make dinner, do dishes, etc. This is not a 1-bedroom, it's a studio, but if you read the reviews, you would know that. It was great for us. Very clean, quiet, very comfortable bed. There is even a washer and dryer available, which was really helpful. The location is great, especially if you like to hike and be outdoors.
