I stayed in Samir's apartment with my 3 children for 8 nights. The location is nice but I cannot recommend the apartment.
A few days before arrival I was asked to lie to the neighbors about the Airbnb if neighbors will ask me, and we had to deal several times with a blocked toilet including sewage on the floor.
But more importantly, on the first night at 3am someone opened the door. Fortunately we had secured the chain, and avoided what could have been an unpleasant experience. It took more than a day to repair the lock and Samir's response was simply "sorry" which I told him was not enough. At that point he claimed that I had not locked the door which was not the case...
In retrospect I understand it was a mistake to accept Samir's request to communicate with him through his private email, if I had insisted on using the AirBnB message portal we may have got better service.
In any case, not recommended, there are enough nice apartments around.
