Russels place is a safe choice. The apartment is as Nice as the pictures says, and IT has everything you need in all roms. It is a great place to stay while you are exploring the city. With the subway everything is nearby, and the neigborhod is great with food, parks, cafes and restaurants. Russel is a friendly host and easy to get in touch with if something comes up. He helped us out when we had questions. Great city, great place, great host.
