The location was very close to the train station, and also to the central market which we visited frequently. Coordination and check in with the host went smoothly. Also, the place was clean and spacious. Overall our experience there wasn't bad, but there were a few negatives that would probably keep us from renting this apartment again in the future.
The bed is quite uncomfortable. I can usually sleep anywhere, but my husband and I both had troubles sleeping on the hard mattress. This wasn't helped by all the noise within the apartment building (for example, one of the neighbors had an alarm that went off at 6:30 every morning which always woke us up). I expect street noise at a place like this, but we were bothered much more by the noise within the building. There was no fan to drown out the noise.
We used the washer one night to do a small load of laundry. Luckily the washer is located on the balcony because our clothes came out of the (nearly two hour) wash completely soaked and dripping wet. We had to wring out the clothes on the porch before hanging up to dry.
Another annoyance was when the wifi suddenly stopped working one afternoon. The host also owns the apartment next door, which is where the wireless router is located. The host had to contact the other renters to have them reset the router (took about 5 hours from when the wifi went out to when it was fixed). Not a big problem if you have international cell reception, but we were completely reliant on wifi for our trip.
