Last week, I stayed at Renata's place for four nights with my husband and college-age daughter. The location is excellent, particularly if you want to have a more "local" experience. You are close to many restaurants, the metro station is right out the door, and you can walk to many of the major attractions—nice accommodations with comfortable beds, a sofa, and a well-furnished kitchen. The balcony, while small, is a great way to take your morning coffee and watch the city come to life. If you require absolute quiet to get to sleep take the back bedroom, it's a late city with the expected level of noise. Lastly, you can easily grab a taxi right out front as well.
We would stay here again and recommend to our friends.
