Anastasia was a wonderful, thoughtful host and we were so lucky to find her apartment. It was a quiet, spacious place to work from home, beautifully furnished and well lit, and it was quite easy to get into the city from this location (only 2 stops on the metro or about 15 minutes by bike). We were a bit nervous about working and traveling, but the WiFi connection was fast and this was an exceptionally pleasant place to spend 8 hours a day at work.
There wasn’t much about this neighborhood online, but it’s located on a block with a lot of charming, older buildings, a number of coffee shops to choose from (we highly recommend the closest one on the corner) and quite a few small boutiques and restaurants on the main boulevard. It’s an underrated location and definitely worth exploring a bit if you stay here. We enthusiastically followed Anastasia’s list of recommendations for things to do in the city, and none disappointed! This was a really great stay :)
