This is a very sleek and stylish apartment. I found I had plenty of room to live there for a month. The large window let in a lot of light, but overlooked the alley. The view grew on me and I didn't mind, but some might. The kitchen is small but workable. The appliances are brand new and spotless, and the dishwasher was a very welcome addition. I wouldn't plan on eating meals with a lot of people at the dining table, but it worked for me. The metro is a quick three minute walk and the supermarket is right around the corner. There are numerous nice restaurant choices within mere blocks. During my stay there was a great deal of construction--if you plan to sleep in during your visit or to stay in during the day at all, you may want to ask as to the status of the work being done. I'm sure it can't last forever, although while I was there, I despaired that it would!
