The apartment was super clean and great, with a walking distance to almost everything relevant.
The only thing is, the street is apparently notorious for being a "red light zone"-- because we weren't given two sets of keys, I was waiting outside the door for an hour at one point waiting for my mate and two men kept badgering me to go home with him (in the middle of the day!) and would not let go. This was definitely a traumatizing experience.
Still, this had nothing to do with the hosts--he ended up giving me the extra set-- everything else about the apartment was great.
