We had a great experience at Helene's. It was clean, clean, clean! The kitchen was great. We also enjoyed the deck where we could relax in the warm weather. We used her grill which was big and very nice and got the meat at the butcher down the street where there were lots of bakeries, restaurants, and even a huge grocery store if needed. It was nice to have a private parking spot too. Six of us slept very comfortably. There were 2 full bathrooms so never a wait. Our only problem was that none of us were very familiar with public transit and we were not very close to the metro but we figured it out. Next time we'll conquer the bus system. I would highly recommend this apartment and think Helene is incredibly kind and accommodating. She is an excellent host!
