The apartment has 3 big bedrooms, 3 nice bathrooms, a nice kitchen, dining area and gathering area and over looks a quiet courtyard. Everything is updated. The apartment has all the extras that one would find in a hotel (ample supply of towels, blankets, hair dryers, an iron, tea, coffee, and even some bottled water). Helena has thought of everything! The apartment is very close to the metro, bus stops, and a shopping center with restaurants and a grocery. The apartment is farther out from the city center but a quick trip in by metro. Helena is a wonderful host! She was very helpful in orienting us to the area and it's amenities. I would definitely recommend staying here.
