Melani and Edoardo met us here at about 10 PM on a weeknight. Melani speaks excellent English and really made us feel comfortable. She made some brochures to tell travelers about nearby restaurants and sights and gave us a quick apartment tour. She arranged for a friend/taxi driver to take us to the airport when we left.

Positives: VERY charming tiny space that really has just about everything you need! A little living area, a pretty sizable fridge, a stocked kitchen, etc. Extremely ideal location, with metro stops about 5-10 minutes in each direction and lots of shops open late nearby (but not noisy at all).

Negatives: If you are tall or overweight, this apartment is not for you. There are VERY tight quarters in the bathroom (though cute, the bathroom was almost unbearable for more than 3 days because I couldn't stand up straight and lather my hair in the shower or turn/sit on the toilet with ease). The electrical work has very low voltage and the breaker shuts off - we couldn't run the A/C, have 1-2 lights on, and use the electric stove at the same time, so when I made lunch, I had to either sweat or work in the dark (I chose dark). Good thing I didn't even try to use a hair dryer!

All in all, this is a great place for a couple nights' stay. Longer than that, and you'll probably be hankering for some more space.
