Really nice place to stay overall. The balcony is fantastic, definitely worth it for this alone. The walk to the metro does take around 8-10 minutes we found through what didn't look like that nice of an area, having said that everyone we met along the way seemed nice enough. There is a bakery 1-2 minutes walk from the apartment which is really nice if you get a chance to go, as well as a mini convenience store literally 10 metres from the front door - very handy.
