Interesting and nice duplex apartment, but would sorely need some renovation. So it is definitely not "newly renovated" as advertised (or the workers did really lousy job). Also the furniture was quite worn out. Currently (may 2012) the house is under scaffolding, so the balcony cannot be used.

The location is fine, but keep in mind it's located on very busy main street with lots of car traffic, so it's slightly noisier.

The host looked fine and friendly. But I spent just like 5 minuts in total speaking to her, as I was out most of the time, so I cannot comment further.

WiFi worked fine, I think like 4M/1M (don't remember precisely).
