B. was an attentive host, checked in several times, sent thorough instructions, and has equipped the place with everything you could think to need. If you don't mind a real walk to pick up the key along with the 5-story climb, it's a fine option. If you have bags and you're traveling solo, that check-in is definitely something to be aware of. But the apartment is cozy, it was clean, and B. provided great recommendations and was a kind host.
