It's a residential neighborhood, with a supermarket and an over-priced restaurant around the corner but not much else. It's not as convenient to the UN and WTO as it seems on the map (around 25 minutes by foot), and public transport to that part of town is infrequent. I ended up taking a cab to work most days.

The bathroom doesn't come equipped with basics like hand soap or shower gel, so bring your own.

The 3 bus, which leaves from just up the hill, is a very convenient way to go downtown.

The apartment itself is small, with nice lighting. The kitchen and desk/work area are well equipped. The host was communicative even if she doesn't know the area well. A nice convenience: the apartment is an easy and pleasant walk to the airport.

Around 15 minutes way by foot is a charming restaurant called Cafe du Soliel. Go there rather then to Grizzly, around the corner.
