Max and Arsala's apartment is a hidden gem. The space is a good launch pad for checking out the neighborhood and a quick metro ride to the rest of the city. (Traveling while legally blind [/being the sherpa thereto] can be a hassle sometimes, but the loft was easy to find, and Arsala was patient getting our check-in arranged.)
Despite arriving on a freezing cold afternoon, we discovered a well heated room they'd thoughtfully prepped against the cold with added space heaters and blankets, just in case. Once we were settled, they provided excellent recommendations for restaurants, bars and breweries in the area. Never having heard of KCBC, we're now big fans.
Be sure to say hello to their two turtles!
