The listing and pictures are accurate and give you a good idea of what your booking. the flat is actually quite large. There kitchen/living room is well equipped and has plenty of storage in the fridge/freezer. I didn't actually cook much but used the facilities for a light breakfast each morning. There are 2 bedrooms but one belongs to the host and cannot be used, but that was not a problem for me as the other bedroom was huge with a comfy double bed and there was a sofa bed in the living room if needed.
The flat was clean and well maintained. Can tell it had been updated recently. The water pressure and hot water was great in the bathroom for a shower. Each room has shutters on the windows which was great to keep the day heat out so the flat was somewhat cool in the evening. There were 2 balcony's which were great to get the morning heat when having a coffee and reading a book before going out to explore.
Check-in was with Ruth's friend (I never met Ruth but she was kind and quick to reply in messages). Her friend would reply in a good time period and check in was in-person, quick and smooth. They gave me milk and some snacks which was very kind. Check out was seamless also.
The location of the flat is about 35mins walk from the old city centre or 20mins on local bus. There are some restaurants within 5-10mins walk which were really good, although double check the opening times as they aren't all uniform. Also these are catered for locals so they don't speak great English, but I managed to get by and order great dishes. There is a small grocery shop round the corner and a Carrefour about 7mins walk away. The bus stops are about 5mins walk away.
The only thing to note is the air conditioning is only in the hallway and not in the bedrooms, so you need to leave the door ajar at night and definitely need to close the shutter during the day, but even in peak July heat I didn't have a sleepless night and the cold air will circulate a bit - I didn't leave the air con on at night as it seemed wasteful to me.
Overall the flat exceeded expectations and I'm glad I stayed for 4 nights. Thanks Ruth.
