I had a nice two-week stay at Norma's place! The location is excellent, there's lots to explore on foot, and it was easy to get around. (Also lots of great vegetarian and vegan restaurants in this neighborhood!) The apartment is simple but complete, and I think it's a good fit for a short stay. I worked from the apartment during the week and never had a problem with Zoom or the wifi, although sometimes the signal was shaky in the evenings. The apartment itself was very clean when I arrived, although some of the pillows and comforter had stains.
For my longer (two-week) stay, I found myself missing some things that would have made the stay more comfortable, which I've passed along to Norma as suggestions to include in the future: cleaning supplies (I could only find glass cleaner and bleach), more hand towels, better lighting (the dining area and bathroom are shockingly dim), more hangers. Note that toiletries (shampoo, conditioner) are not provided. I never had very much hot water in the shower, and could only rely on enough to either wash my hair or shave my legs, but never enough for both. I didn't find the location especially quiet, in particular due to the bedroom's location immediately above the garage door, which opened and closed all day and night for residents to come and go, and due to the roaming street vendors blaring jingles and music. I could hear the neighbors next door quite clearly through the bedroom wall, and during the holidays there was a lot of noise and loud music from all corners, inside and on the street. I live in NYC, so I'm accustomed to street noise, but maybe I'm too used to my own variety. :)
Also note that check-in and check-out are expected to be done in-person with the host. I had a very early morning flight on Easter, and the check-out procedure was for me to exit the building and throw my keys onto the balcony (2nd floor to an American, 1st floor to most others) at 4 in the morning.
