Simon was a very hands-off host, but that's absolutely fine by us since his directions were very clear and the apartment was exactly as described and in great condition. Everything looks exactly as pictured, with super high ceilings, new, modern furniture and a huge balcony. It's a great, super short walk to the main shopping street and very quiet at night. My only complaint is that the kitchen supplies are minimal at best. No paper towels, no ziplocs or containers, no spices or oil, and just a tiny carton of milk in the fridge. Not the end of the world though and the pros far outweigh the cons. We would definitely stay there again.
