The apartment itself is very nice and in a reasonable location. The problems that we had were with the host, however. Having read earlier reviews that commented on having to walk several blocks to find a bar to get the key; the apartment not being clean and the door of the washing machine being broken I contacted Malcolm and he assured me he'd meet us, the apartment would be clean and the washing machine door had been fixed. Shortly before our arrival we were told we'd have to go to the bar to get the key. When we arrived the apartment had not been cleaned from the previous guests so I called Malcolm and he said someone would be there momentarily. One and a half hours later a lady arrived. She did a good job, but this was only after we called. The door on the washing machine was still broken and I had two weeks of dirty clothes I was eager to wash. Malcolm told me about a laundromat a few blocks away. We had not planned on hauling tons of dirty clothes to and from a laundromat. Malcolm did give us a credit for the cost of the laundry, but it was inconvenient. So, it is with mixed feelings I write this review.
