Gilian did not meet me in person but communicated the necessary door codes ahead of time. No problem accessing the apartment. When I had a question re the wifi he responded within minutes, so no problem re communication.
You must realize that the apartment is on the ground floor located in a narrow and fairly dark interior courtyard. People accessing the other apartments walk by right in front of your windows, if you have the windows open at night and they talk you will wake up. I was also not comfortable having people look through the windows while I was in the apartment, which means that I had the curtains closed all the time. Not a problem in the evening, not great during daytime.
The surrounding neighborhood feels like Paris underbelly, lets call it authentic if we want to be positive about it. The cab driver explained that it is the main district for street prostitution, which may disturb some gentle souls and will probably disappoint the ones interested in those kind of services, given that the average age of the personnel was close to retirement. Not a safety concern at all as far as I could tell, just perhaps not everybody's cup of tea.
Also, there is no option to hang any clothes, in case you are staying longer and would like to unpack your luggage.
