The apartment is lovely, and more spacious than the pictures showed. The surrounding neighborhood is beautiful and we felt totally safe walking around at all hours day and night. The metro stop is super close, so the apartment was the perfect home base for all our exploring. Melissa was easy to communicate with and very helpful. The only thing I would caution is that the sofa bed is very very firm, and probably more suitable for children. Otherwise, it was the perfect space for me, my mom and sister, and my one-year-old.
