Our stay at Florentina's place was excellent. The apartment was very clean and the air conditioning was absolutely incredible during the heatwave we had while there. The neighborhood is interesting. It's very local, not touristy at all and we enjoyed that very much. It's a bit rundown, but never felt dangerous. It's mostly a student neighborhood and I recommend young people to stay in this area. We were there on a weekend and just walking outside you'll find countless bars and interesting social scenarios.. Pretty cool! Transportation is also pretty good as it's relatively close to the tram and to major bus lines.
