For anyone reading this, let me first say that this place was served me for about 3 months or so, so maybe what I'm going to say does not matter to you! Again, if you are staying only for a few days, go for it!
If you plan on staying a little longer, then keep on reading:
The host is great, nothing to worry about that. As for the apartment, there's a caveat: If you need to stay more than a week here, do yourself a HUGE favor and request one of the apartments with a window.
My room faced a black wall. At first, I thought the window had been covered with a black shutter, but no, it's the next building. As you can imagine, waking up and having no sunlight was not fun, really. In fact, it slowly took a hit on me since I had to balance some work/study from home: the result was that I would get "home" to a place that I didn't really enjoy.
Again, this review should only matter for folks who are either staying more than a week and need to stay inside the apartment for whatever reason. The place served its purpose, but the "no-window" situation was definitely a burden.
Do I recommend this place?
For folks staying for a week or so: 100%
For those staying for longer: 100% assuming that you were able to confirm you'll have a room with a window.
Hope this helps a little!
