We stayed in Claudia's apartment for three nights with our three teenage kids. The lay-out of the apartment was great for our family. Claudia wasn't there but she had asked her neighbor to let us in and everything went smoothly. The street is great with a lovely market and great restaurants just down the road. I am a light sleeper and the noise from setting up the market downstairs woke me up early every morning. Also, I got pick pocketed at the nearby metro station. Please make sure you keep an careful eye on your pockets and bag. The neighborhood is otherwise very safe. Can surely recommend the apartment. I loved the way it was decorated and the beds and shower were great.
