The area is quiet and charming. I would suggest you leave your car parked once you secure a spot, and use public transportation. Street parking is tricky especially if you have a bigger car.They park on both sides of the street and it is a narrow street. You have easy access to the bus and the Metro is not a long walk. The apartment is very clean. Bed is comfy and so are pillows. Kitchen is well stocked and there are paper towels, tea towels , dish soap , salt and pepper , coffee and tea and a kettle. There is even a box of facial tissue for your use ( this is rare !) A/C works well. You even have decent cutlery in the kitchen! Lots of choice on TV if you have an evening home. Really it is like a home away from home. You have to be able to climb the outdoor stairs to the second floor. There is a tree in front and back to give you a bit of privacy and "green" if you choose to stand on the balcony and watch the world go by. I would go back again for sure .
