Very nice hosts, super quick to respond and very helpful. We also appreciated they included breakfast items in the refridgerator, most of which were organic. The area is quite centrally located and about 10 minutes walk to the Metro stop. The place is clean inside and the setup is practical if you are traveling with a small family and there are kids toys, etc. There is a crib in a separate room which we appreciated so our toddler could sleep alone and undisturbed.
A note about the area around the apartment and the building complex itself, since the photos in the listing didn’t convey this. The neighborhood south and west of the complex is nice, the area just north of it near the Belleville park and the park itself seemed a little run down and we tried to avoid it at night. The apartment complex itself is quite dated and not very inviting when you get there. This could be a surprise if you’re not used to living in large concrete buildings which haven’t been renovated for a while. Access was also slightly challenging since there are multiple gates/doors to get through and then it’s on the seventh floor (there is an elevator though!) and we only had one key. But the hosts helped make it as seamless as possible and there were also friendly neighbors to help.
