Magda is a busy working person so be prepared not be let into the apartment on your first day until she returns from work. She informed me by text message the day of my arrival that I could not check in until 8:30pm even though I had an afternoon arrival via air, train, bus and metro. She did kindly mention that I could leave my bags at any metro station locker and enjoy my day. However, I was quite fatigued, it was raining hard, and both suitcase and back pack were fully packed so it would've required that I reorganize both bags. In the end, I hung out in a restaurant until the appointed time (about 4.5 hours!). Leaving the keys with a neighbor or in another secure location is not an option apparently. I saw her for all of 15 minutes during the 4 nights that I was there, which was fine by me since I kept a busy schedule and it felt like I had the place to myself. The apartment a bit rundown and a lot of stuff everywhere, but the room itself was spartan, tidy, with a stack of towels on hand. I did not cook at all or use the kitchen other than store a few things in the fridge. This was a conveniently located place to sleep at the end of a long day, nothing more or less.
