First of all, everything was as promised in the listing. The host, Marc was very gracious and helpful with checking in and questions and the area was fantastic with many great restaurants and places to visit. Staying here made a believer out of my husband who was skeptical about not staying in a hotel. Afterwards, he loved the security of the building and the neighbor and that 3 generations of family members were able to be together in one large apartment. We would surely stay here again. Easy to get to many metro stations. Appreciated the detailed binder in English about how to use the stove, the washer, etc.
