This was a very clean, comfortable and well-located apartment. However, I had problems with checking in. Simon asked me by email in advance when did I expect to arrive on the first evening. I said I expected 10pm, and he did not indicate anything amiss with this. However my arrival time changed due to a travel rescheduling. Hence when I arrived at the apartment at 7.30pm I discovered that I had no access and that there was no one there to give me access either to the building or to the apartment. I rang the number that I had been given to me for the owners and when I spoke to Simon he told me that the earliest he could be home was 9pm and I would have to occupy myself until then. I told him later that if I had been informed that by indicating to him that I aimed to arrive at 10pm that I was "locking myself in" to that time and that he would not be available at all before that time, I would have been much more flexible in the estimate of time of arrival that I gave him. I encouraged him to think about leaving a key somewhere for people coming to stay if he or his girlfriend are at work or otherwise engaged
