Kal was a great host. Although we didn't meet, he was very communicative with us the whole time. He responded promptly and gave us all the information we needed to make our arrival and stay smooth. The apt is just as pictured and described. It was clean and smelled clean too. Kitchen was well-equipped with cooking and eating utensils and the bathroom was also well stocked, including shampoo, toothpaste, a hair dryer, and sunscreen!
Only downside is you can hear the neighbors talking loudly at times - the walls must be somewhat thin. Also, expect some street noise because the apt is on the first floor.
