I can't say I recommend this place, especially if you're a female traveler. The walk to and from the apartment doesn't feel very safe (especially considering you have to walk under a bridge and the street in which it's located has no lighting at night). I was traveling with a male partner and nothing happened to us, but I definitely would not have wanted to walk there by myself, at least not at night.
Positive sides to this place: you'll get a good feel for how locals live in that area, there's nothing touristy about it.
Negative sides: possibly bed bugs (I can't be sure), no hot water in the shower, only 1/4 stove tops work, the place is hard to find if you're arriving at night and the door is very difficult to manage.
It gets really hot in the summer and there's no AC, so make sure to ask for a fan.
The host was very helpful and easy to contact, no problems in that sense.
