This is a very quiet apartment in a typical neighborhood. It is 30 seconds walk to the metro and a 10 minute ride to City Center. The neighborhood is mixed residential and commercial, and very safe. Although there is traffic noise outside, the apartment is quiet with windows closed and AC on. Neighbors in the building are generally quiet. I am pretty critical of noise and this was quiet for me.
The apartment is newly refurnished in upscale contemporary and very well-equipped (i.e. Coffee maker, clothes washer/dryer). Host provides coffee, juice cereal, muffins, etc. for breakfast. Fast internet and TV. All kitchen utensils, towels, even some beer, wine, and soft drinks in the fridge!
The double bed is comfortable. The apartment Works well with two people. This would be considered a studio apartment, and would be cramped for more than 2 even though the couch folds out.
Some restaurants close by(we always walked). Parking was a huge plus for us as we had a rental car to go from city to city.
Victor is always responsive to text and email. He speaks excellent English. Very personable and reliable. I would highly recommend this location if you are comfortable with the Metro(and you should be if you are visiting the major cities). This was a great place to stay for us!
