The apartment is delightful, exactly what you see in the pictures. Very cozy and home like. Well furnished. For more mature travelers, don't be concerned with the building. It is old and the hall smells of ancient cigarette smoke but the apartment is fresh and clean and comfortable. And there is an elevator, albeit, a very small one. The location is very near a metro station. The immediate area is a working class area, fairly quiet and we felt safe. We would stay again.
