Even though it was a small one bedroom apartment and I was sleeping on the spare bed in the living room my hostess gave me all the privacy I needed. She was there to let me in when I arrived and showed me around and then after that she was available by text messaging but not actually using the apartment until after I left. There are many amenities in her building including a comfortable lounge with free WIFI which I happily used each evening to check my email and such. I ate at the Japanese Hibachi restaurant in the same block as her building and found it very convenient and tasty. I was glad I had brought my own tea bags and sugar because I was able to heat water in her kettle and make tea for myself easily.
