Perfect location as it only took 45 mins from the airport to get there (bus+walk). Metro and Carrefour express (closing at 2am) were just around the corner and even the musueums are 15 mins away by walk.
The apartment itself is very nice, 2 rooms with even a functional kitchen if you feel like cooking. Maybe the bathroom is a bit tiny but who really cares when it's only for a couple of days. The best thing imo was to live in a typical building with local people, it's so charming!!
Though I never met Mike in person it was very easy to communicate with him.
