We loved this apartment. It was just what we wanted- out of the city but yet accessible to it by Metro. The neighbourhood was lovely to walk around - a village square atmosphere - pick up the groceries you need for the day, watch families enjoying themselves - children, the aged. Somehow we felt part of it immediately. The apartment had everything you needed to feel at home immediately - so well equipped and clean. The host was great and on hand for any need we had and even drove us to the airport at the end of our stay. So highly recommended especially if you are travelling with children or a special needs person as we were. Even the steep circular stair was not a problem as it was very safe.
