We stayed for 3 weeks and were so happy about the apartment! Very nicely appointed and decorated, great bed linens, washer/dryer, power adaptors, etc. Leo welcomed us with fresh fruit, coffee, chocolates, wine; he met us at the apartment and gave us all kinds of information about the area. We were right across the street from a metro, within a block of grocery stores, vegetable stands, and it was very easy to find cabs when needed. The neighborhood was residential and felt very safe at any time of the day. We walked everywhere. Leo had the apartment cleaned with fresh bedding and towels each week. I could not have asked for a better host or place to stay!
