The apartment was very clean and well kept. The kitchen is very nice and had everything we needed despite its small size, I don't think that this would be a problem unless all the guests wanted to cook at the same time, but this never happened to us. No sink in the toilet, but this wasn't much of a problem as we could just walk over to the bathroom to wash our hands. The room is quite large and the beds are very nice but the clock wasn't working, which we didn't mind and I'm sure this can be easily fixed.
I did not interact much with Rene, but he seemed very pleasant from the interaction we did have. He was a great host for us and I'm sure he would also make a great host for those who are more sociable too.
Overall our stay was excellent and satisfied every requirement we had for a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend.
