Location is convenient, close to a metro station and 2 bus stops. Also, there's a supermarket right across the street so can get groceries. We saved some money by making breakfast ourselves each morning before going out. There's also small restaurants and shops in walking distance as well as a Church with English service. Many of the things we needed were already in apartment (pots, pans, towels, shampoo, soap, hair dryer, washer but no dryer, toaster, coffee maker and cappuccino maker, oil, coffee powder, tea bags, salt, pepper, etc). They provided a helpful street map with metro line map on back. The elevator is small, the 5 of us could squeeze in with small bags but had to take multiple trips if carrying more. However, didn't really run into other people much so no one else was using elevator when we needed it and that made the trips quick. There's manager who is helpful with questions, I communicated soley through Airbnb site and received responses in reasonable amount of time.
