The apartment is brighter than it looks in the pictures. It was comfortable and had everything that I needed. The terrace furniture needs to be replaced, but the city views from there and the window were nice. There were restaurants and stores nearby, but it is far enough from the main tourist sites and subway that during the summer you might already feel gross before you get anywhere. It was a really great to have the apartment cleaned during my stay, but I don't think that was communicated with a schedule. The internet went out during a bad storm towards the end of my stay. It had worked well until that point, but I don't know if it got resolved. This apartment would not be my first choice to stay at again, but I would certainly consider it for a longer stay.
