No problems! My husband's interview went well and he said that everyone was very kind. The only thing is that you can't take your bag inside, as others mentioned. The best way to solve this is to leave your bag at your hotel (if you're coming from out of town). He stayed at the EasyHotel because it is affordable and they have lockers where you can leave your bag, and you can pay for them with your bank card if you don't have cash.
The first visit was a medical appointment and document review. You first go to the medical appointment, then get a chest x-ray at another location, and finally, go to the embassy at the time allotted (they tell you in a text message a couple of days before the medical appointment). They put everything they want you to bring in an envelope that you shouldn't open until the interview. In our case, it was just his birth certificate. They also tell you if you need to provide any additional documents, but we didn't.
Three weeks later was the interview. The wait was about an hour and a half. The interview was about 10 minutes and mostly in English. The passport was sent out a few days later and received exactly one week after the interview.
