Steve was great for communicating with us before, during and after the trip. However our personal experience was affected by the fact that he wasn't there to host, and instead there was 3 family members staying in the apartment with us on the first night. With 5 people all together (one sleeping in the couch) it did feel very uncomfortable and we had no choice but to limit ourselves to stay in the small bedroom. But the second night we were by ourselves and that was better. Steve's apartment is in good condition and clean, and although we only communicated via messaging, he seems to be a nice guy.
