This apartment felt like an IKEA show room. It was clean and modern. The unit has an amazing view from the sitting area, all covered with trees. It felt like home away from home, sipping coffee in front of the view every morning. I was there for a week but I only saw one person walk by. It was a quiet unit. Definitely a retreat feel like. The Metro and grocery market called Coop is just a few minutes walk so it was convenient. The metro commute to central location takes about 20 minutes so in all it takes about 40-50 minutes (the train comes every 10 min or so). If you use google map you can easily figure out the next available metro. The host was gracious and kind in every way. She was a super communicator and always very prompt with her responses. I had a great experience so I'd highly recommend it.
