The apartment is accurately described. We expected and were prepared for the climb of long stairs to the apartment, which is very charming. Sonia was very responsive to our questions prior to arrival. She explained clearly to us how everything in the apartment works. We particularly enjoyed cooking in her compact yet extremely efficient kitchen!

The apartment is extremely close to the metro station (literally across the street with a two-minute walking distance). We purchased a two-day big bus tour, but realized at the end that we should have taken better advantage of the excellent location of Sonia's apartment and used the metro more. (I would recommend a one-day big bus tour to get familiarized with the city and use the Metro for the remainder of the stay.) Overall, an excellent experience. Thank you, Sonia.
