Our host made us feel welcome by allowing me in the apartment early due to an early flight, and then reserving a cab for an early flight home. Other than that we had no need for him, because the apartment was perfect for us: two women, with each her own bedroom in the quiet back of the place. The apartment is even bigger than it looks in the pictures, and what what comfortable mattresses -- although we did not do a lot of sleeping. The neighborhood was very trendy; just down the block was one of the hot new restaurants, that we only got into because we went when it opened at 8:30 and promised to be out by 10 when the hipsters with reservations showed up. We were a short walk to the metro to everything else. I deal. I would return to this spot in a heart beat.
