The apartment was just like it was described. It was very nice, comfortable and met all of our needs. The people upstairs were a little noisy, mainly just a little kid running around and someone who does not take off their shoes while they are home but it was not a real big deal. The neighborhood was amazing and the metro was so close we could come and go so easily. the sofa bed was pretty comfortable for a sofa bed. We will definitely be coming back here for another visit and plan on staying here. We did not get to meet our host but the directions to the apartment and how to get in were very precise.
