This apartment was great. Communication with the host was easy. She gave us tips and ideas for our trip, had a binder of transportation information and map of the city with popular interests. Coffee shops and restaurants are right below, but the apartment kept the noise out. It was a short walk to plenty of sights and metro/bus.
One thing to note is the shower area (which wasn't a problem for us but could be for others), there's frosted glass next to the kitchen and a person's silhouette is visible. Overall, really enjoyed this apartment and would recommend.
