Our host was very gracious and more than willing to answer any questions we had. Her apartment was spacious and in a good location. Far enough away from the busy tourist area to be relaxing, but walking distance to everywhere you would want to go. It was a little hot for our Canadian blood to sleep well at night. The temperature wasn't bad with the windows open but you could easily hear people talking on the street. The apartment had everything we needed although the hot water would cycle from cold to hot and not really be hot enough for a comfortable shower. Going from room to room there was a large block of wood in the doorway which I stubbed my toe on a number of times. Maybe I am just clumsy. There was a fantastic coffee shop directly below the apartment with a serene garden at the back that was lovely for breakfast every day. All in all, a good experience.
