Home away from home! It’s just like staying at a friend’s place. Elisa met us in person with fruit, cookies, juice, and a bottle of wine. She walked us through all the amenities in the apartment and answered all our questions with great patience before saying goodbye. The kitchen was better stocked than ours at home with all sorts cookware, dishes, utensils, spices, coffee, tea, and all manor of household goods that came in really handy. We felt right at home during our 6 day stay. In fact, out of the dozen or so airBNB and VRBO stays we had, this was the best. It’s a bit further from most of the tourist attractions, but the closest subway station is literally half a block away. A large grocery store is 2 minutes away and opens until 11PM. Oh, there’s a nice little park right next door to relax with the locals. One thing to keep in mind for those visiting during the summer. The apartment doesn’t have air conditioning so it can get a bit hot inside. Keeping the windows open helped, but the neighborhood is a bit noisy until 1-2AM. Otherwise it was perfect. Highly recommended.
