Najla was an excellent hostess, responding to all of our inquiries almost instantaneously. The apartment is roomy and well equipped. It is only 1-2 blocks from a subway station, and a 15 minute walk to most places you may want to visit. There are numerous small grocery stores in the neighborhood, and a large fresh food market 2-3 blocks away. For a big city, the apartment is extremely quiet - but that also means there is no view.
