The host was incredibly communicative, accommodating and welcoming! The apartment was the right size for just two people. It was smaller than we had originally thought from the pictures, but that was no problem. The air conditioner was a must in the summer, so we were happy for that. There is a small kitchen, small amount of counter space, but it works just fine if you'll be out and about a lot and don't plan on cooking every night in. We felt safe in the neighborhood and found nice Vietnamese, pizza, and grocery on the same block. We felt even safer about the situation because Alan was ready and willing to take any of our questions should they come up. Would definitely stay here again!
