Apartment’s location is excellent, close to the major attractions and the metro station few steps away. But the area is more commercial than residential. We only found one mediocre grocery store a block away and really not a good bakery around. But there are plenty of restaurants around. Getting to the apartment at 1st could be cumbersome but you will get used to it. From the main door you enter a courtyard and at the end of the courtyard you enter the building, and the elevator goes to the 4th floor, there are 22 short steps up to the fifth floor then there is a door to get to the building. Corridor can be dark but there is a button in front of you to turn on the lights and then you will get to the apartment which is very cozy and a good size. But one thing to be considered is the toilet (with a sink), it’s located somewhere in the middle, which is far from both bedrooms. The bed in the master bedroom was comfortable we liked the firmness of the mattress, the sheets were good. We had one issue with the towels which we did not see any hand towels and another thing we wished we could see was towel rings. We did not use the kitchen but it has just the basic amenities. Overall apartment is good and comfortable. We met Gilbert only for short period of time, he helped us with the luggage up the steps which was appreciated, and he did a good job explaining information about the apartment. So we recommend the apartment.
