Our host Suzette and her apartment were absolutely perfect! She thought of everything a traveler could need and it really felt like home. There was coffee and tea, essential items for cooking like pots and pans and spices and condiments, brand new bottles of shampoo and conditioner, lots of extra pillows and blankets, wireless internet, netflix... Like I said, EVERYTHING you could need. There is something really great about going on vacation and still being able to make a great meal and watch a little tv at "home". Also, the bed was very comfortable and the sheets a good quality (we were a little worried about that.) My favorite parts were that it was just a block walk to the subway and there was a grocery store right across the street. There was plenty of fantastic food and local beer just a half mile or so away (check out Tchoup Shop!) The area felt safe and the location was perfect for us in getting all around the city. As Suzette says in her listing, the apartment is 100% private, but she is readily available to call should you need anything or have any questions. I would absolutely recommend this apartment to anyone!
