Carol is an extraordinary host. Communication before we arrived was excellent and the information provided at check in was very thorough. This included all aspects of the apartment and getting around the city. Carol also arranged transportation to the airport. Furthermore any additional concerns we had were promptly addressed. The apartment is, as the photos show, very well decorated but also functional. Internet, kitchen appliances and the four air conditioners all worked well. Since it was summer the air conditioning was very welcome after walking around the neighborhood. The location is convenient as there are several supermarkets within a few blocks, a fruit and vegetable market next door, many and varied restaurants, a large shopping mall located 1.5 blocks away plus easy access to the metro subway train system (2 blocks). Thank you Carol!
