We enjoyed our stay in the apartment, it was spacious for a studio. The facilities are clean and modern, and there is a large shower. There are shutters to help make the apartment very dark, which is nice when you want to sleep in. There are many cafes close-by, and good central metro access. We had no interaction or communication with the host Elaine; she had a concierge in the building give us a key and show us the apartment.
