I stayed here while in town for business. The apartment itself is very clean and had all the basic amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The location is also great: close to restaurants, markets, and various shops. Although I never met him, my experience dealing with Charles was also very good.
A few things to note about this apartment:
- This apartment is on the ground floor of a street-facing apartment. The bedroom faces the street and the walls are quite thin, so it can be loud in the morning.
- The neighbors across the hall smoke heavily every night (sometimes until 2am!) and the smoke seeps into the apartment. In fact, the other neighbors tried to complain about the smoking but it continued for the duration of my stay.
These issues are out of the host's control, so I don't blame him for them at all--it's really the neighbors and the building. Keep in mind I stayed here for 9 days with an 8pm curfew, but if you're staying here during normal times without a curfew you may not even notice these issues.
