Penelope was great to allow us to check in a little earlier to drop off our bags from the airport. It was very appreciated. The apartment is located a very short walk from the #8 metro station. There is a lovely fruit and veggie market close by which looked and smelled lovely. The apartment itself is great if you're expecting to be out and about and not spending too much time in the unit. I'd suggest bringing either a flashlight or using your phone once you get through the second gate and have to go up the stairs. The stairs are pitch black and were a little awkward to come up at times. The unit has a washer/dryer which proved useful. Don't expect the amenities you occasionally get with some other airbnbs though. I believe the only thing I saw was a jar of Nutella which when opened was completely empty... Lol. Overall good location and value if you're not too picky.
