The apartment is exactly as stated on the website. The location is perfect for getting around the city, on metro, bus and foot. There are hidden gems all around the area. Watch out for pickpockets though. Joan is a wonderful host and met us at the metro station and provided a history lesson on the short walk from the station. The washer/dryer is perfect for 2 week stays. The stairs going up to the apartment were daunting the first day but after that were fine. Thanks again Joan.
