I will start by stating that the host is very friendly, responsive and accommodating. However, we were disappointed with the accommodations. 1) there is no elevator in the building making carrying multiple suitcases up three flights of a narrow stairway challenging. 2) the apartment is not sound proof and there is a lot of noise at night and you can literally hear conversations from the streets even with all of the windows closed 3) the area is not suitable for families (erotica stores, strip clubs and prostitutes in the street all night and even at 7:30am) 4) the apartment is not very well maintained and it doesn't feel clean. The apartment is central to many sites and if you are on a budget then you may not care about the above but in retrospect I would have spent more for a better experience.
