We didn't meet the host herself - we knew she would be away - but a friend of hers welcomed us and everything went smoothly.
The apartment is just like in the pictures, it provides everything needed for the stay (kitchenware, bed linen etc) and I liked the fact that the host hasn't left many other personal belongings around that may stay in your way.
The building is quite old and with some unpleasant smell in the staircase which may take you aback at first, but the apartment is renovated and provides all the comfort. A very quiet street also and with nearby groceries and bus stop to take you to the city center.
All in all, pleasant stay and good value for money.
