This is a modern unit upstairs with easy access at gate and up the stairs to the door-easy access inside. The area seems safe. The walk to the metro is 5-10 minutes, as said, but the trains weren’t always reliable. This is nothing Valerie can fix. We were in town over memorial weekend and we needed two trains to get into and out of town. It’s a minimum of 50 minutes. We found metro stations closed downtown, trains not running and more difficulties than we could have imagined just getting back and forth. Again not an issue Valerie can control but a heads up for those unfamiliar with subways or trains. We’re not from towns with trains and this was a difficult situation for us.
Regarding the condo, it was clean and sparkling. We were disappointed there was no toaster or toaster oven and recommended Valerie get one. Just helps with breakfast. Our only complaint was the TV was set to Spanish and we’re not Spanish speaking. It was too late to let Valerie know when it first happened but we spent at least two nights without a TV we could watch. When we informed Valerie, she had someone come out to fix it, the next day while we were away, she said it was fixed but it wasn’t. The words for directions on the screen were finally in English but the language spoken still Spanish. There were three adults trying to fix this -to no avail and suddenly hit a good button to end the night in English. But that was the last night, the fourth evening. This was really annoying and should have been fixed- and I guess checked by someone- before telling us it was good. The AC is in the living room so it can get a little warm in the bedrooms. There’s no ceiling fans. And no full length mirror anywhere. One bedroom has a dresser with a mirror and the bathroom mirror was it. Otherwise everything was nice. Comfy beds. Nice bathroom with shower. Valerie was easy to reach.
