This is a great location for the European traveller or the young and adventurous. I made the mistake of booking it while travelling with my mother who is old and expects north American accommodations any where she goes. I think she was a little intimidated when the host was not able to be present and their representative spoke almost no English. We ended up going to a hotel. Recommendations for the host are for North American guests to have the following:
Extra towels
Sheets made-up on the sofa bed for tired travellers
New bar of soap in the bathroom
Disposable cups in the bathroom
English speaking representative on site.
I will definitely book this again when I am travelling with my more casual friends. it was my mistake to think my mom would like this very cool apartment.
