Benjamin was an excellent host! We were pleasantly surprised by the apartment. The kitchen is VERY nice with a washing machine, dishwasher, large refrigerator and all the supplies you need to have a quick meal at home. The apartment itself was larger than we expected and perfect for as we were two couples traveling together. The sofa bed was very comfortable. I was already familiar with the area but Benjamin was quick to respond to any questions and I would recommend this apartment to anyone. It's really close to the metro, grocery stores, the park, and some great restaurants. That area of the 19th is one of my favorites!
