Overall the experience was positive, but the are two very important aspects which can't be overlooked: 1) There is excessive humidity and I would never spend here more than a few days. 2) The position is tricky. Looking on the map, it seems not far away from the center, but it is and it is not connected well by public transport. The area lacks any kind of nightlife or restaurants. Be ready to walk a lot or rent a bike.
A part from that, everything went smoothly and the host was very nice and easygoing.
