Upon getting there and calling the host to set up a time to meet for checking in, we were told that the building was under construction and we had a choice to move. We opted to see the apartment first. It was, in fact, under construction on the facade. Our apartment, however, was not entirely the one shown in the pictures. We did not have a view of the street with a balcony as shown - good from the standpoint that we wouldn't have been able to open the doors and enjoy the balcony anyways, bad from the standpoint of the fact that the pictures don't necessarily show the exact apartment that you might end up in. The apartment that we were shown was of similar quality, however, so we were ok with staying instead of moving further from the center of the city. It was hot and the air conditioner had a hard time keeping up, but we made do and used an extra fan. Aside from that, the location was wonderful, and the host was very accommodating.
