This is a great apartment in a perfect location. There are tons of restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shops, a yoga studio, and a metro stop all within a short walk, but the neighborhood itself didn’t feel overly crowded. Proximity to the parks was really nice and we felt safe. The apartment is comfortable for two people, clean, and it was nice for a long stay. There are ceiling fans and two standing fans, which were really helpful in the August heat. The washing machine worked great. The photos don’t quite do the space justice — the windows open wide and let in a ton of sunlight.
The apartment was not equipped with the essentials listed upon arrival (toilet paper, soap, salt and pepper, etc). There is a required additional contract and an inventory that you have to sign. Ours had several items that were not in the apartment, though it didn’t seem like they were worried about it. I still don’t fully understand why these contracts were necessary since Airbnb has its own contract, but otherwise we had no problems and the communication with the real estate company was very good. Gemma was very friendly and was there to greet me when I arrived.
Definitely recommend.
