This was a fantastic apartment - so conveniently close to the metro, supermarkets and little restaurants. I could not figure out how to use the washer though, but luckily the location of the apartment was so close to a laundromat. Very cozy and easy to feel right at home. Also, the temperature was great - I wasn't freezing at night. There are some basic cooking things (pan, pot for cooking stovetop rice, percolator coffee maker, toaster) and utensils. If you're familiar with extended stay hotels, it's got all those essentials with the added bonus of feeling really homey. The building is quiet and feels secure. The neighborhood feels safe (I'm a woman and was alone) to walk around at night. Highly recommend. Luke is also very pleasant and responsive and made checking in really easy! Would have love to stay longer and would definitely come back!
