This is a great apartment except for the constant traffic noise. If you are walking to the metro, be aware that the sidewalks leading there are in terrible shape with huge holes and uneven concrete. The kitchen was too small for any serious meal preparation with few cooking or prepping items. Serving ware was very adequate though. We did not meet Evelyn but she responds quickly to emails. It was all rather impersonal, but satisfactory for a week’s stay.
