We had a nice stay in Shadae's place. The location was great-easy to get to the metro, safe neighborhood, lots within walking distance. The apartment itself was as described. The bed was comfortable and we were happy to find an air mattress so our teen boys didn't have to share the fold out couch. Some of the amenities were a bit limited -like exactly 4 forks, 3 spoons and 5 knives, no paper towels, or corkscrew (although we bought a corkscrew and some paper towels and left them for future guests). The apartment was a little cold at times since heat is controlled by the building, but all these were minor and overall it was a great value. I would stay there again.
