If you like to stay away from the tourist hive, yet within walking distance of metro, close to local grocery stores and restaurants you will fit here. The apartment is across from a school and hearing the children playing was as added bonus for us. Tobias and his parents are supportive and attentive hosts. After a day of sightseeing in the heat the patio provides a great private place to cool off in the evening before bed. Although there is no air conditioning there is a ceiling fan in the bedroom and a pedestal fan in the living room....very helpful and appreciated in hot summer weather.
