Denzel was a warm and friendly host. He was a responsive communicator. When I arrived for check-in, he even helped carry my bags ups the stairs (no elevator). The apartment was spacious, clean, modern and peaceful. It felt very much like a place where I could live. It is a direct, easy 5-7 minute walk from the metro and there is a well-stocked grocery store at the end of the block, with other markets, a pharmacy and an atm located on its other side.
While at Denzel's place, I had to work on a project, so having an extra computer monitor (HDMI connection) was a huge help. Although the space was shared, I was alone most of the time and was never interrupted.
During my stay, there was a plumbing issue that needed to be resolved. It was inconvenient at times and Denzel made an effort to increase my comfort, which was appreciated. This was the only hiccup and has likely been resolved since my visit, so I would hands down recommend this flat to a fellow traveler.
