The location was perfect — less than 2 blocks to one Metro stop (L3 and L5), and 5-10 minutes from 2 other stops. Same for the bus stops. Easy to catch cabs too. Door to door, we could get to our destinations within 10-25 minutes by walking/public transportation.
We arrived on a holiday when most places were closed. Thankfully a few popular restaurants within a block were open, as well as a small bodega.
On NYE, we watched fireworks from the living room. The apt was very quiet and the elevator was a plus for my elderly parents. Great water pressure in the bathrooms and kitchen. There were portable radiators which were perfect for the colder nights.
Eike responded promptly to questions before/during my stay. His explanation of the garbage and recycling system was great since the system was more complex than most places I lived in the US.
Eike provided laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, etc. I suggest BYO shampoo, conditioner, soap if staying for than a couple of days.
