We had an overall good experience at the apartment. Alinea was very responsive and check-in was a breeze. The apartment was centrally located and it was fairly easy for us to get to most places, but it was not too loud outside at night. The directions to the apartment from the Metro that were provided were perfect. The warnings in other reviews about the steep, narrow stairs and the pitched ceiling inside (especially in the bathroom) were accurate and made navigating parts of the apartment difficult, but we managed. Anyone who is tall (maybe 5’9” or above) would likely find the bathroom ceiling unmanageable. Beware that there are elderly neighbors and you will be instructed to be very quiet during night and early morning hours.
