Overall, it worked well for my needs. I stayed here for 3 months, so got to know it quite well.
Pros
- Internet was super fast and very reliable. I was working from this apt remotely during the day, and any time there were issues with internet, the host took care of it right away.
- Location is very central. There are tons of little shops and you're right next to the metro, which is nice.
- Tons of light, especially in the morning. It being a corner apartment, it was really nice to sit on the balcony.
- The host was super-responsive. She always got back to us immediately.
Cons
- The noise. If you're a light sleeper, this place isn't for you. In the summer you'll need to keep the windows open - and even when all windows are closed - there's a ton of street noise. I got used to it after awhile at least.
- Wasn't the cleanest when we first arrived, and took a couple days to get someone in the apt to finish cleaning it. Considering we were staying for 3 months, I was surprised the cleaned the bare minimum before our arrival. I would just ask the host to make sure it's cleaned before arriving, and you probably will be OK.
- The apt's construction is a bit shabby. Wall trim was always failing off, one bathroom drawer at one point simply just apart, and the headboard in the main bedroom isn't attached to anything. The place needs a bit of TLC really, and could be really nice.
