The apartment is outfitted with very nice furniture and artwork. The private rooftop patio is sunny and warm. Nashe is a gracious host.

The location is great; it's a quick, pleasant walk to the Plaza Rio de Janiero and to the various bars and restaurants of the neighborhood. This part of Roma Norte has all the energy of a neighborhood on the cusp of reaching maximum popularity.

The apartment has garnered some reviews that mention the word "rustic," a somewhat generous description. The place has immense potential, but some of the deferred maintenance detracted from the experience. The windows in particular need attention.

We ended up opting for another apartment, and Nashe was generous and helpful in accommodating our request.
