The apartment looks like in the pictures and Melani is a very helpful host. A downside of the apartment is that a part of what would otherwise be an awesome view is hindered by a building that was under construction. Also the mobile A/C is not capable of keeping the entire apartment cool when it's really hot outside. Lastly, there was a marihuana smell in the building sometimes. It didn't bother me too much, but be aware of it in case you are sensitive to it. A great point about the apartment is that I had absolutely no problems with load shedding!
