We never saw the host, but the communication was friendly and helpful. The instructions on how to find the apartment and access it were very clear. It is a very unique experience. The whole apartment is one square room with a separate bathroom and laundry closet and you can sleep on the mezzanine level. It is very clean and quirky in its decor. We had four people in there, which was cosy, but with less it would be fantastic for a long weekend. We all really enjoyed our stay!
