We were greeted by the host's mother and close friend, as the host couldn't make it, and they proved both warm, lovely and very helpful. We knew we had booked a flat at a fair value but got a bit concerned when we read later reviews of noise and were to stay for 8 nights. However, the noise was indeed bearable (though ear plugs are highly recommended for sensitive travellers) and given its central location the flat is actually pretty quiet. That was surprising. It is a sparesely decorated flat with only the most needed kitchen amenities and slightly dated interior - and the ceiling lights a bit too fluorescent! But the aircon, WIFI and fans worked greatly and specifically the fans were a life safer in the heat. The setting of the flat itself is gorgeous but could do with a little interior upgrade. However, the flat proves great value and we ended up having a pleasant and safe stay.
