Joan was a great host! He was very great with communication both before our stay and upon arrival. It was nice having the extra space of the second bedroom and the windows were great at blocking any noise from outside. The flat is VERY close to the metro which is very convenient. There are a number of places very close to get snacks/ breakfast. For those worried about the area being somewhat "seedy", we felt safe the entire time, even late at night. We enjoyed our stay and recommend it to others
