Definitely recommend this place! The city can be hot, loud, and busy (we visited in June), and this apartment was so relaxing to come back to. The air conditioning was much appreciated. The space was quiet, clean, and bright. Beautiful huge windows let the sun in. The decorating style features a lot of white (which was calming to us), without feeling sterile. It was very cozy. The bed is SO comfortable, and we slept really well here. There’s a TV with Netflix which was a luxury for us, coming from two other places that didn’t have that. There are two levels of security during the day (two locked doors), and at night the gate to the apartment building is locked, adding another level. As two young women, we felt safe staying here. There are a LOT of stairs to get up to the apartment which was fine for us being young and spry and whatnot, but something to be aware of. There IS an elevator, but it’s small and you have to pay. It works fine and gets you up most of the way, but the last two sets of stairs still have to be walked. The location is nice and central, and a few blocks away from a metro station, which we used frequently. The host was very friendly. We communicated about our train being delayed and he was able to rearrange his schedule to meet us, on short notice. We told him that we would be checking out in the middle of the night to catch an early flight, and he went above and beyond by arranging a taxi to pick us up at the apartment, which reduced the stress on us to figure it out ourselves. Overall, very happy with this place.
