Fantastic location. The apartment is close to the metro, shopping, restaurants and tons of other stuff, but is in a calm residential street so not noisy. The patio garden off the main bedroom is a wonderful oasis of greenery and a perfect place for a cup of coffee in the morning, and a glass of wine at night. Within a 5 minute walk there are traditional grocery stores, and one specializing in international foods that we just loved! Would come back again.
