A very pleasant stay. Very convenient to the metro, restaurants, an excellent grocery store and a bakery plus a quickie mart. There is a clothes washer but no dryer - this is standard for Europeans. You will have to use a rack (provided). The shower head is not mounted on the wall - this is standard for Europe. There are no window screens - again - standard - just letting you know ,- not a negative! There was so much room in the actually huge fridge - and there were even ice cubes (yay!!!!). Check-in was so easy, as was accessing the apartment by Metro! The street was EXTREMELY quiet and so was the building itself - you could not hear others' voices, or slamming doors, nothing. The only negative was that the direct elevator never worked. Not the hosts' fault. We found a work-around by taking the other elevator to the next floor and walking down a flight. The hosts were very responsive and pleasant. We enjoyed ourselves very much.
