We were pleasantly received by Lionela, and she borrowed a metrocard for the subway, where we could deposit money on, to travel by subway. The apartment was clean and the kitchen had all you could imagine for cooking. We were in the beginning of may and there is no heating in the apartment, for us it was a bit cold at night. The main sitting area is comfortable, with TV. The apartment has very little windows. None in the main sitting area, and only a small window in the kitchen. There is no view to the outside. If you are only there in the evenings to sleep it will not really matter. But if you stay longer time, you might prefer a place with some windows. At night it was quiet. There is no noise from the street. However early in the morning there is noise from pigeons. In the evening you hear the tv and discussions of the neighbours till about 22.30h. The beds are comfortable.
