Since I chose the whole apartment option I wasn't happy to see that the apartment wasn't self-contained. The room with the bathroom was separated from the kitchen by a common use hallway. Although only we had the key to that kitchen it is not the level of privacy we expected. Also the washing machine that was included was in a shared room in the first floor (our room being in the third floor). Besides all of that, it was a great area. It was centric and in close distance to public transportation. The host left us waiting about 30min to check-in, but hopefully that was a one time thing.
