Mr. E. would definitely make sure you reach his place giving you all the advice needed and would pick you up at least at the metro station, which is indeed very close and convenient. Then, after the introductory speech, he would retreat without interfering anymore (unless you need him).
The apartment is very decent, clean and well taken care of. The room was spacious, had A/C, wi-fi, telly and breakfast (exactly as shown in the picture). The neighborhood is quite nice, too.
Now if you don't mind sharing a bathroom or even waiting for some extra minutes in the morning and a noisy room at times, I think you would like this place.
