Our host sent an assistant who could not tell us anything about the area (recommend restaurants or anything of the sort). We also had to wait a good while for her turn up to meet us. The apartment is really nice -- very modern, clean, nice details. Loved the area. HOWEVER, be sure to ask if the major construction that is going on upstairs is finished. We had to get a refund after one night because it was so unbelievably loud -- starting at 8 am-5:30 or so. (Airbnb was GREAT about arranging this, btw.) The apt also has no air conditioning. My son and husband turned out to be very allergic to Venetian mosquitos, and the vape/plugin anti-mosquito stuff that was provided did nothing to keep the pests at bay. Apt needs window screens.
