It was an overall positive experience.
Pros: Very nice host, bright apartment, spacious. Lot of choices for public transportation to the center. Few playgrounds close by, supermarket practically around the corner, great espresso machine.
Cons: washing machine didn't work, there is no freezer, the street is a bit noisy, glass blocks between the bedrooms, so cannot have light on in one bedroom and full dark in another, balcony is not very usable - would be nice to have a table/chair.
