The host was very helpful and kind, and quick to fix problems. The owner of the corner store across the street was also kind and friendly. The location is convenient, but I found the "bit of a hill" a previous guest mentioned a difficult climb first thing in the morning (next block is stairs). The apartment is barebones but workable, and it was newly redone (in gray and beige). The bedroom is not fully separate from the living room; light and sound carry through. There was no dedicated workspace, but the host got me one when I requested it. All in all, utilitarian but convenient.
