Diane was a very helpful and welcoming host. The apartment was just as described, clean and comfortable. Groceries, eating, Metro all close by. Diane works in the afternoons in the building next door, which could be handy for some (we were ok). She is quite flexible with times. She also let us leave our luggage with her for several hours after checkout, and she and Serge kindly accompanied us to find and hail a taxi. Recommended!
