We spent two weeks at Julian's place. The location is the best in that it is surrounded by restaurants and within 5 minutes you can be on the Metro to the rest of the city. I found a large grocery store only four blocks away so we had everything we needed. The apartment is so large and spacious. The air conditioning was a life saver during the heat of June. The washer and dryer were both added bonuses. We watched Netflix and BBC news on the two televisions. Everything was there that we needed. We never turned on the stove or the dishwasher. There are too many great restaurants not to be missed. If you get the chance try restaurant GastroVia 61. It is only 8 min from the hotel and ask for MoMo. I took long walks by myself and never felt unsafe. Julian had a few beers and water waiting for us and we were able to make ourselves at home. His responses were immediate. I do recommend this spot for a short or long term stay.
