Beautiful apartment, very spacious, well appointed kitchen, clean restroom, nice linens, lovely sun room, very secure and in the heart of the city. Just a few minutes walking to get to shopping, restaurants, and the Metro. Nice welcome to the apartment and an easy exit when leaving. There is a bit of noise from the street as other renters mentioned but the unit is in the heart of the city, its just traffic. If you close the windows and the shutters in the bedroom it is not a problem. The location of this unit is great. This is just such a pretty apartment there were times we just wanted to stay in and relax on the comfy couch.
