The set up worked very nicely for our two families visiting from the States. There are two separate apartments, the down stairs one is very nice and updated. The upstairs apartment,as many other reviewers have commented, has a ton of potential but does need some updating. Overall, the apartments were prefect for our two night stay. The location is in a quite neighborhood and is walking distance from restaurants, grocery stores, and public transportation. We used both the metro and bus for traveling to tourist sites and it was very easy to do so from the apartment.
