Location: Fantastic, lots of restaurants, shopping and the metro is close by for easy access.
Host: Good, he is responsive when questions do arise. He did address an issue the next day after all of the lights in the living room didn't work. He also stocked the fridge with groceries which was very nice.
Apartment: Decent amenities and laundry is very helpful, but the shower is a complete disaster. The drain does not work (even after multiple draino attempts) and leads to water across the floor, unless you have a 30 second shower and at half water pressure. I don't know how it wasn't known before we arrived and would recommend it's addressed before anyone else stays to avoid the major inconvenience of having to clean up after every shower.
Privacy in the bathroom was also a concern. While there is reflective film on the window it doesn't work at night when lights are on in the bathroom. We had to hang a towel over the window to ensure we had appropriate privacy when we needed it.
Overall: Unless your cooking a lot, I'd recommend booking a hotel in the neighborhood and just bring extra clothes; the benefits of the laundry don't outweigh the impact of the shower.
