We had a wonderful time at this little studio! It was conveniently located just blocks from the metro, and in a fun little suburb of downtown close to shopping and lots of little restaurants. Easy jaunt into downtown and more touristy stuff.
Martin was an incredible host: gave us information about public transportation, stayed up until 1am to give us our keys when our flights were late, and made sure we felt cared for. He also was there to receive our bags, which had been lost during flight. Very generous and kind person.
A few little things: the bed was not very comfy and you do have to climb quite a few stairs next to lots of garbage to get into the place, as it is a 2nd story flat you access from the back. However, it's built over a great bagel shop, which makes it worth it.
I would definitely recommend this for someone who wants a budget option with a more neighborhood feel.
