The apartment is in a great location, close to the Metro (the line that takes you to all the main attractions). There is plenty of action nearby, but the room is surprisingly quiet for such a lively location, and I was able to rest well. I would note that if you have heavy luggage it could be a challenge to get it up and down the steps, also those with mobility issues should be aware. The hosts were nice, although I didn't see them much. The dog is sweet. Overall, I recommend.
