The host Gala was friendly, helpful and easy to deal with.
The first-floor apartment is rather spacious (I expected less space from the pictures). There is a large open air terrace at the back; two little bedrooms which face the terrace, and a shower; a long living room area with a sofa, connected to the kitchen; and a larger bedroom with an in-suite. The larger bedroom and the living room have windows to the street.
The only issue we had was with external noise, coming from construction works under the window during the day, people socialising in the street at night (esp. Friday night), people walking and talking in the communal staircase area, and from the neighbouring apartments. I suppose this will be typical for this area of the city.
