The apartment is as described. I will note however, that the kitchen is completely separate from the living room - on the other side of the hall and down the hall a bit. Also, don't assume that you can push the 10 am check-out time. When I asked, the host said it wouldn't be possible because someone else was due to check-in at 3 pm. It must be a scheduling thing because you don't need 5 hours to clean a small apartment and the cleaner arrived at 9:59 a.m. to boot us out. If these issues are of no concern to you, then I would definitely recommend staying here.
