We did not meet our host but the manager of the apartment Teresa was very nice. The apartment was clean but very small for four adults. The shower leaked all over the bathroom floor and should be re-sealed. There should be better pillows. The expresso maker had a leak in the water seal as well. The location was close to the Metro which made travel to the city attractions easy. The street where the apartment was located did not seem in the best location but was only 5 blocks from good restaurants.
