Sophia was a fantastic host and kindly accommodated our check-in/out timing and was always very quick and clear to communicate. The apartment was as described, very clean, and the lighting really brightens the interior on the back rooms like the kitchen. As to be expected with buildings of this age in big cities, you can sometimes hear people moving in the apartments above (but never any loud talking, tv, etc.), so we were keen to respect the policy of reduced noise levels in the evenings which was no problem at all. It’s a very convenient location, a couple of short blocks away from the Metro and only a short walk to the most desirable areas. We arrived by car, and it was not difficult to pull over to unload our luggage very close to the apartment and there are parking garages not too far away for the stay. Would not hesitate to be a guest of Sophia at any time in the future!
