Highly recommend this apartment and I personally hope to visit again. Elena is warm, friendly and wonderfully accommodating. Her communication is thorough and clear via Airbnb, guides and printed material at the apartment if you choose to use them. The apartment was clean, fully stocked with all necessary amenities including plenty of new or refilled toiletries such as shampoo, soap, etc. and she provided a weekly maid/cleaning service to us which was awesome. Her check in and check out process could not have been easier or clearer- great for our off hour needs. She reached out a couple of times to make sure we were happy and taken care of, and also offering recommendations if we wanted. We had an already packed itinerary but thought she was very sweet, thoughtful and attentive. the location of the apartment was excellent for us - central to all the museums, incredible food, the park and more. There are also plenty of stores you may need during your visit within a block or two - grocery store, pharmacy, etc. The building has very friendly security at all hours. We felt welcomed and very safe. The gym and pool were a huge plus and great places to relax. Laundry and dryer are also in the unit. She provided plenty of towels, blankets and pillows. And there’s a water filter in the unit.
Again, I highly recommend this stay and would not hesitate to stay here or another apartment hosted by Elena next time we visit.
One small concern would be for those who are very sensitive to sound. We were personally not affected at all even with the windows open, but there is a club or bar nearby that plays music on the weekend late into the night. If you’re super sensitive, it’s something to consider but close the window and you’ll barely hear it. If you wear earplugs - we didn’t, but saw they were supplied- you’ll be extra fine. Just a note if you’re sensitive.
Overall - Thank you Elena for a fantastic, attentive and caring stay. You provided superior hospitality and then some. Communication was excellent and logistics were very easy. Supplies and cleaning service much appreciated. 5 stars all around.
