This apartment was in a great location for us: away from the overcrowded tourist traps, lots of places to eat and drink, a vibrant nightlife, a strong mix of cultures and well connected to public transport.
We didn't get to meet the hosts but communication via phone or text was very good. Although it was their own home the hosts were very relaxed and wanted to ensure we had a good stay.
The apartment is very compact and minimalist, we liked its style. Note however that it doesn't get direct sunlight and has no view, which might be important for some.
I highly recommend this apartment if you are looking for something away from the tourist centre with local flair.
