We loved being in an old, tree-lined neighborhood instead of the concrete jungle. The metro is not far, but the walk to the bus station in the opposite direction is shorter and less hilly. The house was fine for our needs and the owners very kind and responsive. You will not feel completely alone, as you hear the owners above you and see them working on the property. So if you need the illusion of being isolated to relax, this wouldn’t work. Very little area to have food or make coffee but it was enough! Great value.
