We had a great time ringing in the new year in this lovely apartment. The main floor is beautifully decorated and flooded with natural light. The downstairs bedrooms and bathroom are cozy, and although we can only speak about the master bed, it was very comfortable and had lots of room and closet space if needed. Not sure if there would be street noise in the summer, but we were perfectly comfortable. Ermelinda was a perfect host--providing information and support both in advance of and during our stay to ensure we greatly enjoyed our stay. We particularly appreciated the welcome treats. The apartment has great access, with inexpensive parking, metro across the street and both a bus stop and taxi stand directly in front of the apartment. We appreciated being out of the direct chaos of 'downtown' and it was so easy to pop into whatever area we wanted to be in. Definitely recommend!
