The apartment is located in a great neighborhood. There is a restaurant with good food on the corner so check it out. Taxis can be caught on the main street which is literally two short blocks away. There are supermarkets, stores, restaurants and coffee shops all within a short walking distance from the apartment. The apartment also has a small balcony which we used every morning to enjoy our coffee. The place was sparkling clean and the washer/dryer combination was a nice extra. Just be aware it takes forever to complete a load of wash! The microwave and coffee pots as well as full sized refrigerators were a nice convenience. The only thing some people may have an issue with is the tub/shower set up. Hot water was never a problem and the shower worked well. However, it is a pretty tall climb into the shower so anyone with a mobility issue or knee problems may have an issue. Otherwise the place was perfect and I would have no reservations about renting the place again. Hopefully I can and soon!!
