Irene was a great host. The apartment location is fantastic, with quite a few very close-by shops, grocery stores, restaurants, and other attractions (including a very nice park with musical concerts). Area feels very safe, and we walked in and out at night with no fear. Process of check in and out was easy and Irene is very easy to work with, very accommodating and kind. I was there on a work trip, and found the Internet connection was strong and the table provides an excellent work space.
The apartment was a little darker than we expected, but that worked out fine for us because we were there in the middle of a heat wave, so it stayed cool all day (there is air conditioning, but we didn't have to use it). We also caught a very slight mold smell, but this may be peculiar to us - and perhaps the season - we are quite sensitive to indoor air quality, and we didn't have any problems despite staying there for four days (and spending two of those days in the apartment all day).
