Christiano’s place was fine. It is located just at the end of the royal mile, so not too bad but not super central either.
It is a room three floors up only accessible by stairs and a bit of a climb, especially if you have mobility issues or a lot of luggage.
The apartment is operated more like a hostel in the way that there are 4 private rooms crammed in there with a small shared kitchen and single bathroom. I didn’t have any issues with noise from other neighbours or too long wait times for the bathroom but good to keep in mind.
There is a washer but no dryer or place to hang your clothes to dry, so essentially useless.
Communication could be better. Again, it seems this place is run like a automated business. 90% of the messages I received from the host were automated, including a automated thank you check out message before I had even left. Also, in regards to the check-out, I found it to be a bit early (at 10am) and the host was inflexible in allowing a bit more time. Some of my questions were also left unanswered.
If I had to guess, it seemed like the host pretty much has this on autopilot and may even be out of country. The only person I encountered was a cleaner upon my exit. Again, not a dealbreaker but feels more like a business than someone’s home.
Overall was fine and a tad bit overpriced in my opinion.
