I did not meet Martine in person but she was quite responsive on the phone. However I would not recommand this place for several different reasons. First the bed was fine but the couch was really uncomfortable (I woke up with a back pain). Second we were woken up quite early in the morning by people doing some work in the front and the back yard. The host said it had be going on since a long time so I think it would have been nice to warn us before we were already there. And finally, I was very surpried to see that there was no shower, just a shower head on the wall, in a bathroom that was not clean and smelt very strongly like the cat litter.
The apartment is overall tiny, busy and not well located which for me makes the price not worth it.
