The best parts of German's apartment were: his hospitality, the size, and the location. German greeted me when I arrived to let me in and show me around, and he was quite prompt to respond to any requests as he lives just across the hallway. The unit was surprisingly large and would be comfortable for up to 4-5 people. The location was the selling point: walking distance to so many bars, restaurants, and the subway. The drawbacks were limited amenities (e.g. plates and cups), a small bathroom, and a loud bar downstairs, but nonetheless we still had a very pleasant stay.
