The area that the apartment is in is tucked away from the tight packed city, but a quick access to the metro makes it easier to get to all of the places that you might plan to go. We found it to be a great little home from home and although ducking at times to avoid the low ceilings in places, Simone made this clear before we arrived and offered the chance to cancel if it were to be a hassle. Great host, great little house.
