I was a little skeptical of this place at first. I arrived just before dark and walked up from the Metro. I was greeted by 5 locks on the front door of the apartment. This was a little off-putting for a single traveler. However, the neighborhood and the apartment grew on me over time and I felt totally safe in the end. You can hear all of the hallway noise, including the elevator clicking on and off. There is a great street just around the corner to eat. Everything in the apartment work and was comfy enough. A good deal if you had more people use it! Sergi was always quick to respond to messages and let me stay while he cleaned the place to use the internet for a bit.
