The apartment a bit of a mixed experience - although the good won! Positives - great communication from host and his friend who met me at the bus station as he was away. Beautiful, clean apartment just like in the photos. Lots of space. I booked at the last minute and although I normally avoid sofa beds this one was comfy.
I was a bit concerned as it looked like it opened directly onto a street - but is is a private (gate with Yale lock) courtyard off a side street. It was really quite at night - there was sometimes a little noise from neighbours in the day but this is to be expected when houses are just a few feet apart!
You can also take a chair outside and sit outside the door, which is pleasantly shady.
The only down side is how stuffy and airless the apartment is, even with a fan, which can make it a bit unpleasant and oddly humid! Would love to see this solved as otherwise is a great little apartment. I also couldn't get phone reception in the apartment which was a bit annoying.
