Manu is a charismatic and kind host. He offered maps and tips of where to go and how to get there. He even invited me to his Birthday party but I had a chocolate convention at Tours & Taxis only a 20 min walk away. I would say that Manu's place is the typical young guy's apartment. Nothing fancy, just the necessities. I would suggest this apartment to young, easy going travelers. The bed two single, thin Ikea mattresses side by side, but they seem new. My old, lumpy body was tired enough to sleep on it ok but it took me a while to get comfortable. I explained that I get really cold at night and Manu provided an extra comforter and blanket. I was cozy warm without the heat on in quite cold weather. The apartment is near a busy street; if you're a light sleeper bring ear plugs and the street lights illuminate the room so an eye mask may also be necessary; I had both. I would have liked the kitchen and bathrooms to have been cleaner but as I said, it was a roof over my head for a good price and a lovely host. Note: the toilet is in a separate room from the sink, bidet, and tub which are down the hall.
A nice touch was that Manu set the table for a nice little breakfast for me, unexpected and thoughtful. His hospitality made staying there worth it! We chatted for a while about his dancing and the differences between states in the US and traveling Europe.
The trams and buses are less than a 10 minute walk away and seemed to be running on time. It's about 3 euros that you can pay for on the bus. They prefer coins. You're also very close to the Atomium and a huge beautiful cathedral.
