Effie gave us very easy to follow directions to get to the apartment from the airport. The apartment is about a four block walk from the metro, which is in a residential area. The apartment is on the third floor (elevator not working), and has a view of the neighborhood from the large, furnished balcony. The apartment is large, with two bedrooms, one bath, living/dining room and fully furnished kitchen. The bed was comfortable and quiet. There are few restaurants and little shopping in this area. There is a nice grocery store across the street from the metro station. We were easily able to get to the tourist areas from this station.
