I am used to staying in 4 star accommodation so as this was a new experience for me I wasn't sure what to expect. At first I was unsure whether I had done the right thing. Staying in someone's home is a completely different experience. Communication with Alistair was very good. His apartment is very well located to transport but not close to any supermarket. The bed was comfortable and I slept well, however because it was two bedrooms I expected a proper bed in the other bedroom and not a blow up mattress. At first I was concerned about how clean the apartment was as I discovered bits of food in one of the cutlery drawers and the walls had some stains. Overall the apartment was clean given that it is of an older period and I must say it really grew on me as a lovely, interesting place to stay. I would suggest a good paint out though. Alistair was very nice and I felt safe.
