If you are looking for luxury, this is not it. If you are looking for somewhere affordable, comfortable, and within convenient walking distance of the city center and two metro lines, we highly recommend this apartment.Reading other reviews, we were concerned about hot water and that the apartment might be in a state of disrepair, but we did not find that to be the case at all. Hot water worked perfectly (be sure to read instructions when arriving about the breaker), and the only sign of repairs were a few unpainted patches of plaster. Nothing that affected the comfortability of the apartment.Most importantly, it was quiet, within walking distance of nearly everything we wanted to visit, and we felt more at-home than we would have in a hotel for twice the cost.
