Genet's place really met the expectations. Check-in and check-out is super easy and flexible, since the front door has a code and no key is needed (very convenient for groups in which people aren't always coming back together, like us). Metro station "U st." is very close and the apartment is only 10 min away from 14th st., where there's a ton of nice restaurants (at all prices and for all dietary restrictions, vegetarians included).
Although we could hear some ambulances and police cars from time to time in the night, the neighbourhood is very quiet. The apartment is in the first floor (and there's no other way than the stairway). Everything was clean and the WiFi was very fast. The apartment has all the appliances of a normal house (except hairdryer). Kitchenware was either new or rarely used. There were many spices to cook, and a nice assortment of teas and coffee. Genet was kind enough to leave a welcoming bottle of wine, which was a very nice touch.
Overall, totally worth the price.
