This apartment was great in regards to location and safety. We had a sisters trip with three girls and the apartment felt safe and comfortable for us. There was a lot of great shopping and food options in the neighborhood and a very easy trek to the metro. Irina was traveling so Jonathan was our contact. He was great with giving us suggestions and answering questions. One issue we did have is the heavy door - we had such an issue with unlocking it. There is a trick but it's a pain. Other than that we really enjoyed the place. Pleasant neighbors too!
