Pros: Centric area, easy access to metro, apartment is modern, clean, with all conveniences (washer/dryer) and quiet (except for upstair neighbor's high heels in the early morning).

Cons: Expensive for what you get (apartment itself); cleaning fee is excessive and expected in cash (we were only there two days and with the euro exchange ended up paying practically $120 and left the place clean anyway).

Communication with host was confusing, and often a problem in terms of her contradicting herself. For example she agreed to our late arrival, however, after we paid, she nagged constantly about it en a good number of emails. I even purchased two front row plane seats in order to get there as soon as possible since she was stressing me out. To top it off the flight was delayed by 25 minutes, and she gave me a very hard time when se arrived as well as via email and by phone. I was overwhelmed by her constant nagging. I even emailed her to clarify her agreeing to our late arrival and she still continued to give me a hard time, until the day we left, when she apologized.
