Samanta is a great host and will do whatever she can to make your stay easy. She will inform you of your surroundings and about the city, transportation, resto's etc. A real pleasure to deal with. The apartment is fresh and modern and very well located. Slap on a pair of running shoes and you can virtually walk to most places. You should know that the subway runs under the apartment and can be heard/felt every few mins during the day but does not bother you at night. Not very bothersome..more comical!
