First of all, Cristina is a great host - really caring, always helpful, a very nice person. The communication between us was great and fast, she did even come to welcome us in her apartment and met all our requirements. Regarding her - no problem!
But although we knew, that we would have a shared bathroom and kitchen - it´s good to know, that there might be up to 7 other guests (3 more rooms) during your visit and the communication among different cultures is not easy and so the appartment was sometimes a mess (however, everything depends on the guests, Cristina does not live there and therefore does not clean the kitchen or bathroom regularly). The whole appartment is rather old - and so are the utilities, but one can get used to it :) The biggest problem we had was the heating - as we arrived, we found out in the evening, that it doesn´t work, for it is broken. Luckily Cristina had one more free room and she enabled us to change it, so it was OK than, but for the next times - ask her before the reservation, if it works.
All in all, the appartment has a great locality - only ca. 5 minutes from the metro station (line A - the better one!) and reflects its low price. Finally, if you are a real traveller as me and my boyfriend, you won´t probably spend much time in the appartment :D
