The host here is very helpful and did his best to make our stay enjoyable, however the toilet had not been cleaned and there was hardly any toilet paper. If you're planning to cook the cooking facilities are minimal, hardly any kitchen utensils and the only knife in the place was only one small vegetable knife. While staying here there was no power for a while one day and the lift was out of order on another, however the host was on to these things very quickly and sorted them out as soon as possible which was excellent on his behalf.
The area itself is about a 15-20 minute walk to the main tourist areas, there are local restaurants in the nearby neighborhood and on Mondays there is a large fresh food market on a street nearby, excellent value if you're wanting fresh produce, cheeses or fish.
Overall if the apartment was a little cleaner and had more kitchen utensils and plates etc it would have been a much more enjoyable stay.
