This is a fantastic location. The apartment is located on a lively block where locals stream to for happy hour (however, inside the apartment you don't hear any of that). Lots of shopping and easy access to the metro.
The unit itself is nicely appointed and very clean. The host was very communicative and when we had a minor issue with a shower door, the response was quick. We did no cooking inside the apartment during our stay so I can't speak to the kitchen.
The host makes a big deal about keeping the noise down in the public areas like the stairwell. I understand why. The sound carries. Most people are quite considerate in that regard. Some are not, but that's life.
Thanks for a lovely stay.
