The flat has gorgeous, high ceilings, wood floors, lots of natural light, and a real sense of history. The beds were very comfortable and (because we don't have TV service at home) our kids enjoyed watching television in the rooms upstairs while we enjoyed the quiet in the living room downstairs. Although the metro was only a 10 minute walk away, and although parking in this neighborhood is easy, we wound up taking short Uber rides to all the museums and restaurants. There are two neighborhood markets nearby and one morning my husband brought back some delicious croissants from a nearby bakery. David and his wife were extremely welcoming and responsive in communications. Thank you!
