you should know that there are 3 people who live there that smoke. if you get the room nearest the kitchen the cigarette smoke is noticeable. a metro stop is near the apartment but not 25 feet as the previous reviewer wrote. it is a block and a quarter from the entrance. andrea and his wife natalie are very helpful and you will enjoy their cats. andrea invited me to eat with him a couple of times. the neighborhood is full of restaurants and gelaterias and a grocery store. can't say i would return there again. can't stand cigarette smoke.
