It was a cute apartment with easy check-in, and Loyse was very communicative. She'd almost always respond within 5 minutes, which was very helpful and appreciated. The apartment's location is great and we enjoyed being a short walk from the metro. It was, however, one of the cheaper options, and we got what we paid for. The courtyard frequently had people smoking in it, and even with the windows closed the smell seeped into the house. Also, the for-charge laundry you don't get to do: you give it to her neighbor who can do laundry on certain days and return it the next day. This was somewhat inconvenient for us, as we had chosen this location in part because it said it had access to laundry and had packed thusly, but ended up needing to handwash underwear while waiting for our laundry. Still, her neighbor was very kind and we appreciated the ability to get some clean clothes. One last note is that there were frequently flies and gnats, which wasn't ideal, especially since we wanted to cook. Overall, it's a good choice to save money, but you should be ready to get what you pay for. But to reiterate, Loyse was very kind, helpful, and communicative. Merci Loyse!
