Sela was a superstar host! She made a late self check in after a long flight completely foolproof. The apartment was cute and had everything we needed. It's a lively building but not unusually noisy. That said if you are a light sleeper don't sleep in the living room as the elevator can seem loud at night. The neighborhood is superb. It's far from the tourist center but it's easy to access all of the sights on the bus or metro.
