The basic apartment has two large bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen/livingroom, as well as a laundry room (it was wonderful to be able to wash clothes while being on a long trip (hang dried on the balcony)).
As we traveled with a 2.5 year old and grandparents, we loved the fact that right across the street, at the church, was a nice playground.
Likewise, the local neighborhood had a fair amount of restaurants and two grocery stores.
A hip looking bar drew a crowd every night, spilling out people on the street. Further down the road, in an alley, we also found an amazing chocolate company/restaurant (SAID).
Although the metro stations are a 15 minute walk away, we came to enjoy our stay in the neighborhood.
Alessio, the host, also arranged transportation for us to go to the airport which was well appreciated.
