The apartment was just like the picture. I stayed with my 2 daughters and they felt as if they were at home. The neighborhood is very quiet. There is a supermarket and a bakery just across the street. Very nice and unexpencive. There is a metro station across the street, less then 5 min from the apt. Yael our host waited for us in the apartment with fresh coffee and crousons. We had a great time and we hope to come back soon.
