The place is gorgeous. Lisa has a keen sense of beauty and design. The neighborhood is so explorable. You can spend your entire vacation in the 15th district, happily. The subway is practically underneath the front door. The patio is filled with plants and when you open the door in the morning the bird sounds bounce off the courtyard walls (In a good way)!!! There is a washing machine and an elevator. We had absolutely a perfect stay. NO complaints! We fell in love with Lisa through her art and books and exceptional sense of style.
