Host and communications was great, the location is close to the collosium and its Metro station which was useful. The streets are less attractive in this area but we had no problems walking around. The apartment has great sound proofing from outside noise however we had a daily issue with the above apartment making lots of noise in the early morning, 06:00, early for us!. Katia was advised and she did try to contact them. I believe it was another rental so we may have just been unlucky. The apartment is basic but functional. The water pressure in the bathroom was quite poor, able to shower but bath was out of the question. Katia advised so hopefully something can be done to improve.
