The host was quick to respond to email prior to our arrival. He sent us information on sites to see other than the standard tourist sites. We met a friend of the host at the apartment in the morning to drop off our luggage and get keys. The apartment was large and very comfortable for 5 people. The apartment was very clean and in a quiet location, however, it was a short walk to catch the subway. There was a nice bakery also a short walk away before the subway station. I would highly recommend this apartment.
