What a wonderful apartment this is, and the hosts were friendly and available for anything we needed. It's everything travelers could ask for: clean, friendly hosts, wonderfully located for folks who want to be in the 'thick' of it all, tastefully decorated and well-equipped. A few important notes to consider: this apartment and the neighbourhood are best-suited for energetic and able-bodied folk who don't mind noise - the (269) stairs to get to this neighbourhood and the apartment itself (another 100-some odd stairs to the fourth floor without an elevator) will require a good healthy pair of legs. The Google directions from the Metro can be misleading because of this so seniors and small children might find this challenging! The neighbourhood is *definitely* ground-zero for partying so noise can be challenging come nighttime so if you're a light sleeper (or don't like ear plugs), you might want to consider this as well. There is a nightclub directly behind one of the bedrooms, and it gets *loud* when the party starts hopping. :) Otherwise, we were very pleased with this cute little spot and the wonderful hosts who accepted us into their home. Thierry and Ana even bought us a children's crib for our little one which was a sweet gesture, and a children's high chair in stock was an enormous help as well. If this is the right fit for you (and for the most part it was!), then we have nothing but great things to say about this place! Merci Thierry et Ana!
