I stayed here for about 8 days with a friend of mine. From the beginning and throughout the trip, Mike was always prompt with his response and was available to help us during the trip. We were a bit late for check in time because we got lost on the trains, but Mike's wife was very kind and waited for us at the apartment. We didn't see either of them again through the trip. The description of the room was accurate, room was large with a big bed and small sofa. It did get quite cold some of the nights and we couldn't control heating (centralized) so I usually wore sweats and socks to bed.

The shared kitchen is great, clean with everything available (microwave, oven, toaster, ironing board)! The bathroom is shared with three other rooms (4 rooms total) so think of it as a hostel style accommodations. On several occasions we had to wait for the bathroom over 1.5 hours because it was constantly in use (both morning and evening), and like any older apartment, sometimes ran out of hot water so we had to wait it to warm up.

The area is nice, lots of small grocery stores, Mcdonalds and Subway sandwiches, the actual Subway is just a few steps away and Line1 is so convenient! Daytime feels completely safe but in the evening it was a bit different. On the first night we got a bit lost and walked down the wrong street, a man in a black van kept trying to talk to us and followed us down half a street, the second night the street next to ours was completely packed with flashing police cars doing a raid or something with garbage bins knocked over and rubbish all over the street, on our last night right outside our apartment, two men were using a tool to try to break a bike lock. Maybe it was just our bad luck, but I wouldn't suggest a female walking around late at night but with a friend it should be okay!
