The location for ease of getting around on the metro was perfect. The apartment was up 15 steps, no elevator. The noise from outside can be loud, especially a problem if you are a light sleeper. There are several restaurants and bars nearby. The apartment itself could use a little TLC, but the bed was very comfortable. The shower leaks if you're not careful to keep the spray away from the door. Eric was easy to get in touch with and responded right away to my questions.
