The host is very nice and responsive to email and text. Unfortunately he was unavoidably detained on our arrival day so we had to wait at a cafe next store for 20-25 minutes. The apartment is on the ground floor and since it was very warm we opened all the windows to get some breeze. However it was then like having people, bicycles and cars in the bedroom and living room with us. This made it very noisy so I recommend ear plugs. The neighborhood is great with nice restaurants, wine bars and cafes near by. It is close to a bus stop that goes to town. It is a bit of a bachelor's pad that would be good for young people who are out until late at night when the streets quiet down so it would not be noisy. I recommend the apartment, although I think it would be better if the host does not leave all the books from the bookcase stacked on the floor in the bedroom.
