The apartment was sufficient. Not located in a convenient part of the city. Very noisy with traffic, car alarms constantly going off and young teenagers hanging out right under the only window in the unit. I realize this is out of the owner's control;however it does affect one's stay.

A nice breakfast layout was left in the fridge but there was no frying pan to cook the eggs in....guess you had to boil them as we only had one pot to cook in!

Our "welcome" was far from warm. We showed up exactly on time and were left sitting on the stoop for 30 minutes. When the door was finally opened, it was by a niece who had apparently been cleaning. We were let into the apartment and then left entirely on our own (no keys, advice, etc.) for another hour and a half while the owner welcomed two other guests who showed up earlier than planned! Once the host finally did come to our unit, although appearing to be overwhelmed, she instructed us on using the keys...make sure you always lock all FOUR locks...and given a very hasty review of potential restaurants in the area. She informed us that she was late for her Godchild's birthday and was sure we'd do just fine.

I travel all over the world and use private apartments quite often, I have never received a welcome like this one.
