The check-in was actually quite smooth! Alin provides clear instructions that include pictures too. The room is a nice size with a sink. There was a different scent from the bedding. I was nervous about this so I asked Alin about it and his response was fast and friendly. He said the sheets had been washed with ecofriendly products. I am not used to this so that was different for me! You do share a bathroom but there was never an issue with that. The apartment is nicely located about 3 min walking from the metro station which makes it pretty accessible to get to the central station in about 10-15 min!
