Be aware the apartment is very, very small. The lovely, although small as well, balcony helped us to not feel quite so claustrophobic. The apartment had everything we needed but being supplied with dish soap, kitchen towels and some laundry powder would have been nice. As agreed by our host, the sofa is very uncomfortable and should be replaced. The location was very good, close to shops and restaurants and about 5-10 minutes walk to Columbia metro station.
