We loved our time at Andre's place! My fiance and I spent several weeks here and would definitely come back again. Check in was simple, Andre had sent clear instructions in advance to remove the key from a lock box right outside the front door. The apartment is a good size with a comfortable bed. The kitchen has the basics for quick meals and the washer/dryer was really nice to have. It is a basement apartment but the lighting is really nice so it feels quite bright. The few times we did have questions Andre was quick to respond and made sure we had what we needed. The location is really great as well. Your very close to the metro line which has a grocery store inside as well. The metro is very user friendly and this location was never swamped like some of the others making it easy to reload tickets and get a seat! There are several shops and restaurants practically outside the front door. On Tues and Sat they hold a huge flea market that's a 4-5min walk. The people we encountered were all very nice and if they didn't speak english (most did) they were willing to work with us to figure our what we were asking for. I would recommend Andre's place as a great place to stay.
