The host was helpful in directing me around the city. She even walked me down to show me where and how to get a metro ticket and the stops. The flat is located in a residential area just on the edge of the super busy tourist area. I did walk it, but the bus and metro stop real close by. It is very near the futbol arena. The room was clean and well equipt, with the bathroom attached. The bed was new and comfortable. The area is quiet at night so I was able to get a good nights sleep. I don't know much about the kitchen or living area arrangement since I had no use for them.
