This particular visit simply wasn’t for me due to cultural differences.
The “internal” apartment is inside of the Hosts’ home. Though it does have its own entrance, it is located internally after you enter the hosts’ home. Not accurately advertised, in my opinion.
Additionally, though there is a lock on the door, internally, no key was provided to lock the door to keep out others. (ie, the host and his family).
This may be acceptable for this culture and ideologies, but not for me.
The apartment was extremely clean and modern, and very well located to public transportation, a small supermarket, and a very surprisingly yummy Italian eatery.
There is a great coffee place up on the docks, about 1.5 miles walk each way, which I quite enjoyed.
Due to the cultural differences, I did leave my stay very early but that is a personal preference.
Hanging the Texas flag was very nice touch.
