We love the Nation neighborhood in which the apartment is located; it is bustling but overcrowded or touristy. Plenty of restaurants and various shops, and the closest Metro stop is only a block away. Bruno is a pleasant host, and he provides information and recommendations for restaurants and food stores in the neighborhood.
The apartment itself was large enough to comfortably house our group of 5. Our only complaint is that on hot nights, the apartment is very warm - perhaps there will be more fans available for future guests?
