The location was pretty much as described. However, one thing that was missing from the description is that there is a school across the very narrow street, and the young kids are out in the yard for break playing and screaming periodically throughout the day. On days when we left early and got back late, no problem. When we wanted to sleep in in the morning or relax in the afternoon, forget about it. I don't mind street noise, garbage trucks, etc. However, an hour of kids screaming at different times during the day should be expected during the school year.
The host set us up with a ride from the airport, so they knew our arrival time. However, no one was there to meet us and we waited at a cafe for over an hour till they arrived. At that time we entered the apartment, but the cleaning person began her work and we were not able to lay down and relax for another hour. After an 11 hour flight and all the other travel of the day, this was very disappointing.
