The apartment is very well appointed, exactly as displayed on the site, clean, the bed is comfortable, and overall it makes it easy to feel "at home away from home". It is fitted out with a washing machine , microwave, cooktop, everything you need for a long stay. I was warmly welcomed by a friend of Marc,the host, who offered to help me with my luggage on arrival as well as on departure . The walk-up on arrival was a bit off putting at first, especially after a long flight, about 5-6 floors, going down on leaving was easy.The location is really convenient for the Metro stop, and the Airbus just 5 minutes away for both. I liked the residential neighborhood feel and being across from the market. While, still under construction, sleeping late is not an option, that should soon change as construction is completed. It wasn't an issue for me as I wanted to get out early anyway and very quiet at night. Also, you can never get lost while in the neighborhood, you can't miss that huge building. I enjoyed my stay and would stay again if the opportunity presented itself.
