Had a good stay in the apartment, it is not very big but easily accommodates two people and the kitchen suited most of our needs. The bed was very comfortable and everything was clean, most notably the bathroom. The air conditioning was a godsend on the hotter evenings. Overall, a clean, dependable, comfortable living space- only downside was we couldn't figure out how to work the washing machine, but it seemed to be functional. The area is very quiet even late at night which made for a relaxing time there.

The neighbourhood was what stole the show. You could easily spend an afternoon just wondering those winding narrow streets, bursting with local character and charm and with some amazing views of the city if you can find them (just head for the higher ground). The apartment itself is a stone's throw from the metro, which is admittedly a little way from the main hotspots, but most metro rides average around 20-25 minutes which isn't bad at all. The safety of this quiet, pretty neighbourhood more than compensates though. There is also a night bus stop right round the corner- I think the host marked it on the map but we found it ourselves as it's so close by.

We had some difficulty with check in, which is a long story but essentially I don't think it was anyone's fault, just an unfortunate fluke, and the host tried to make contact as best as possible in the situation (make sure you will have phone signal there is all I can say). So that was a long day for both parties involved I think, but besides that our time at the apartment was smooth sailing and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced stay in a beautiful part of town, where rent could easily be much higher and still be justifiable.
