This place is fabulous. Booking was very easy and we even extended the stay a few more days. The apartment was very clean and everything was brand new. The 1st. Arr. is a great area to stay in and central to nearly everything. Remember you are in a big city and as such you will hear normal city sounds, like sirens and horns. The windows in the apartment were well insulated so that helped reduce the city noises. My girls loved the bath tub and towel warmers. I highly recommend this place.
