The owner's sister was very easygoing and nice enough to allow us to leave our bags before and after we checked in and out. She was pleasant, but didn't go out of her way to make us feel welcome or offer information/recommendations about the area.

A few days in, a dog randomly appeared in the apartment without warning, and we were told our host was babysitting. The dog seemed agitated by all the people coming and going and barked each time we left the room. We found this a bit annoying and inconsiderate, as we aren't really dog people, and would imagine anyone with an allergy would have been quite upset by the lack of warning.

The room was lovely and exactly as described, and the reviews gave a very accurate depiction. The apartment was small and very hot, but had everything we needed, including a bedside fan, though a communal living space might have made the atmosphere more friendly. Our host kept the place very clean the entire time.

Excellent location! It could be loud at night, but we were expecting this. Overall, a pleasant experience and a great place to hang our hat while travelling.
