The apartment is great, bigger than the average hotel room. Neat bathroom with nice shower, microwave and coffee! Quick metro ride from the monuments. Cozy, smelled nice, recomended for couples too. The building is in the middle of two main streets - one with many shops but does seem a bit more sketchy with people approaching you for their shops and the other had mini markets and restaurant. Pick the ladder for later nights to walk to the metro. Gated street at night - nice to keep street noise out.
