This place is well equipped with the necessary items. The shower is great with good water pressure and lots of hot water. The bed and bedding is very nice...clean and comfortable. The space is organized efficiently with closets to hang and put away all you clothing; suitcases can be stowed in the hallway...out of the way. There are big windows that open. When they are closed they block out much of the street noise below. The unit is just one flight of stairs up...which is nice. The location is great! Close to the metro and many important sites. With all this going for it, the place still has a few issues you should be aware of. The area is VERY busy. if it was a hot evening and you were unable to close the windows it might be tough sleeping. There is a nightclub below that was active each night we were there; with patrons spilled out on the street partying it up until late hours. Even with the windows closed, you can hear and feel the music base while lying in bed. The apartment does need some repairs. There are loose tile in the bathroom and some electrical outlets need fixing. I've seen other reviews mention the electrical so I hope Thomas addresses that soon as it is a hazard. Overall we had a nice stay.
