Overall, a good stay for those on a budget. Only a few minutes walk to a U Station and plenty of restaurants in the area. Host was very generous and allowed us to check in a couple hours early.
The downsides were that the elevator can only be accessed after lugging your luggage up two sets of stairs. This would be a concern for some. Also, the cable didn’t work and the host apparently operates remotely. On the third day of the stay, he offered to have someone drop by. Finally, the Internet operates between 1Mbps and 6Mbps. We couldn’t even stream on a laptop without constant buffering. The host verified that this is the normal speed for the apartment. Not deal breakers if you just want a place to put your head down after a day of exploring. But if you’d like to be able to relax a little at the end of the night—not great.
