Apartment was spacious and clean; layout was a bit different with 2 kitchens but everything worked out well with no problems at all. Access to the metro stations (and taxis) was easy; an ATM machine was only a block away; a Penny's grocery market was less than a 5 minute walk; cafes right in the neighborhood. Marcello's, an Italian restaurant, was right around the corner and very good (and the owner very enthusiastic). You should be aware, however, that they only take cash. We recommend this apartment.
