The apartment was generally clean although there were several uninvited guests (cockroach, lizard, etc.). The checking-in was very easy as Sharika's mother was waiting for us in the apartment. There is air-conditioning in the apartment which was good as it kept out the mosquitoes. The location is great, 5 minutes walk from the train station, and 5 minutes walk to the Duomo (cathedral). However, it's near a busy road and the traffic can be quite noisy even during the evenings and early mornings.
