I really loved staying at Charles’ apartment! He was very accommodating with an earlier check in time and was transparent and communicative.
I would emphasize to others that this is his apartment that he rents out when he isn’t there, meaning that you are living amongst his things/food items/etc. I didn’t find this a problem at all, truthfully his place is very lovely. Wifi was also very fast and I appreciated having a kitchen for my longer stay (~2 weeks). I would stay here again.
