The apartment was the fourth that we rented on our trip (the second in Germany) and the best overall. It is a little small, but very quiet and well located. Fairly boring modern decor, but you will be out and about most of the time, and it is perfectly OK. We were within 12 minutes' walk of the opera, Gewandhaus, St Thomaskirche and so on. Maybe 15 minutes from the Hauptbanhof. It was very clean and the kitchen was about the best equipped of the four, with full stove, microwave, coffee maker, kettle, toaster, and lots of cutlery and crockery. Just bring washing detergent as, unlike other places, this isn't provided. However, things we had to ask for (or provide ourselves) in other places such as dishwasher tablets and coffee filters were included in a welcome pack that also contained mineral water and some mini chocolates. There is a nice cafe and organic supermarket in the same building that comes in handy, and a bigger supermarket nearby. There are also lots of restaurants, kebab places and so on. Only drawback I can think of is that temperature control can only be achieved by closing off radiators and opening windows (which have that natty two-way opening design). Ask for a quiet rear apartment with separate bedroom.
