Hosts were very responsive and the place was super spacious and clean! While the neighbourhood was not especially charming (perhaps due to closures for the holidays) the apt is well situated for access to the metro and buses (note: important to provide some buffer time when taking public transit which tends not to be in line with maps timings - it takes about 30-45 mins to get to the old town area or other major sites). Having a laundry machine was also a major plus!
