This is a classic straight line open plan basement apartment, with sliding glass doors separating the sleeping area. It's warm, very clean and comfortably furnished. There are plenty of small delicatessens (convenience stores really) dotted throughout the neighbourhood - and the subway is at the end of the street.
Valeria is a responsive hostess and reached out to ensure my arrival and stay we're going well.
A couple of things to note about the apartment are: there is no washing machine, so you need to use one of the numerous laundromats in the neighbourhood - and whilst there is an induction cooktop and microwave there is no oven nor griller. I have mentioned to Valeria that the toaster only has 2 of 4 elements working.
I stayed here for a week in the middle of winter during a snow event, so being able to prepare warming food rather than relying on take-out or dining out each day was high on my agenda, hence my focus on food related comments.
Overall, this is a good value for money, stay option - well hosted, clean, warm, conveniently located.
A final observation - it was mid-winter and the neighbourhood streets are wall to wall with parked cars, so the streets are not cleaned nor clean - there was a lot of rubbish on footpaths and in gutters, which doesn't make for a great visual aesthetic.
