A charming spacious apartment on the fifth floor (4th if you are European), nicely decorated, bookshelves with lots of books, an advanced stereo system that we didn't use. The kitchen was well equipped, beds we comfortable. The neighborhood has plenty of restaurants, grocers, and bakeries. The metro is close by. The metro lines appear to run under the building, because there is a regular hum and vibration as each train passes, but it was hardly noticeable and not significant enough to be an annoyance. The elevators didn't work, which made climbing five flights of stairs a serious challenge for my daughter in law. The managers apologized and offered compensation which has not yet been provided. I would stay there again.
