Pros:
Great neighborhood. Excellent location and transport options to all of the major areas of interest in the city. Several cafes, restaurants, bakeries, convenience stores and pharmacies, etc. within walking distance, yet the area is relatively peaceful and quiet. The apartment is very spacious and the building safe. You can hear the kids in the upstairs every now and then but no big deal. Communication is excellent with the host and he’s willing to solve or compromise on problems.
Cons:
Cleanliness throughout is not up to what one would expect during these times. Sheets, towels, pillows and bedspreads have seen better days. A coffeemaker of some kind would be nice.
