The host was there to meet me when I arrived and was flexible with my arrival and departure time. He takes a personal interest in the property and is looking for suggestions to improve the guest's stay. There are rules to be followed (as in every shared residence that respects itself), but they are also reasonably flexible. The place is as described, with a great industrial/renovated feel to it. The building used to be a coffee factory, now renovated to a modern residence with high ceilings, an amazing old-fashioned elevator and a loft feel to it.
