Firstly, Victor is a warm, accommodating, highly-educated person with whom anyone would feel comfortable. As for his apartment, it is a no-frills, clean space with a rather-recently (maybe within the last two or three years) updated bathroom, it appeared. The bedroom advertised is just under mid-sized...certainly not tiny and certainly not large, but then tiny, mid and large could be a matter of individual perspective. I felt safe with Victor, safe in the apartment, safe in the bedroom, and the lock on the bedroom door made me feel even more secure as I prepared to sleep. There is something, though, that I had not read in any review for Victor's listing that I must mention, as I wish that I had been made aware of it by a reviewer: from the building's door to every visible interior area of the building OTHER THAN VICTOR'S APARTMENT, there was filth and deterioration. I was prepared to enter Victor's apartment and tell him that I was canceling the reservation. I was prepared to forfeit what I had paid and head to a hotel, after all. However, there was a whole other vibe and cleanliness factor going on in Victor'a apartment. So, just know that if you can get past the expressed condition of the building, you will arrive at a MUCH, MUCH, MUCH-IMPROVED condition in Victor's apartment. Further, the area is hip and bustling. Restaurants abound; transportation is nearby; entertainment is a walk or a short train ride away.
