The apartment is exactly as pictured: modern, feminine, charmingly decorated, really cute. It was also very clean. As far as my host was concerned, I did not meet him. The keys were in a lockbox. I followed the instructions, got out the keys and found my way into the apartment. So there was no personal touch, no particular sense of welcome. I didn't mind this very much, but I was already familiar with the area and can speak German, so I was able to manage OK. Andrei was available by phone when I had a question.
