Taus's apartment was both close to public transportation (metro!) and easily within walking distance to grocery stores and restaurants. The neighborhood was really quiet and was a perfect location for a spending a few nights in a relaxed environment. The apartment itself was also wonderful- lots of windows and a big kitchen sitting area to hang out and play cards in. We had enough room to sleep everyone in our group of 6 with extra blankets etc. provided. Taus's friends were very helpful for checking us in/ out because he was out of town when we were visiting!
