My family of four rented this apt from August 8-11. Ralph sent his colleague Sol to greet us and drop off the keys. The apt was a good size for our family and was about a 15-min walk to the metro. The neighbourhood was great and close enough to all amenities. There is a small wading machine but no dryer. Instead, there was a drying rack you could use in the solarium/dining area with windows that let a nice breeze in for drying the clothes. There are two bathrooms with showers so that helped keep traffic to a minimum when getting ready. I would recommend getting bottles of water/drinks as well as coffee pods as these weren't provided. There is a dishwasher and some cooking stuff so breakfast/lunch was easy to prepare and clean up. There are small convenience stores down the street as well as a larger market within a 10-min walk from the apt. Cabs are accessible on the main streets. My daughter loved the apt and didn't want to leave. Glad we stayed there.
