Sophia's place is very central to the metro and many bus lines. The area around the apartment was safe night and day. There were lots of great inexpensive restaurants that we walked to or took the bus to. There was a mid sized grocery store .7Km walk from the apartment. as well as two convenience stores beside the apartment's main entrance. The apartment was clean and well equipped. There was ample heat which we welcomed throughout our coo, rainy March stay. There was lots of hot water for showers and dishes. The building was quiet for sleeping. Naomi greeted us and showed us how everything worked and gave us contact information that we used several times during our stay. Our emails and phone calls were always promptly answered by Sofia. Overall this was a great place to stay in.
