I didn't meet Gerard, however his friend made sure I got to the apartment with ease. His friend was very friendly and patient when I arrived late to the apartment due to problems at the airport. Gerard, responded to any message I had within a reasonable amount (or fast) of time. His apartment is clean, a bit on the quiet side, and fully equipped if you want to cook. Fast wifi, and decent TV channels. His apartment looks just like the picture, except different bedding or something minor but overall the description is true to word and is a great walking distance to all of the shops. I highly recommend his apartment for the solo traveler or a couple. You won't be disappointed.
