Dirk is very friendly, helpful and warm. He needs to be home to meet guests as there is no self check-in option. Once you meet him he gives you the keys so that you can come at any time. A self check-in method with key box or code is recommended.
Need to climb 40 narrow steps up a spiral staircase which was not a problem for me with a backpack but may be an issue with a large suitcase. The windows open onto a busy street with trams which makes it noisy. The sun also rises on that side. There are pull down blackout blinds. However, the windows need to be closed to use them.
Comfortable bed and have a work table in the room. Clean, large bathroom with a bathtub.
It seemed that the sheets had not been changed after the previous guest as I found some hair (including a long hair) on it before I slept on it. (of which I took photographs). The sheets, pillow cases and coverlet seemed a bit crushed too. The appearance was that someone had slept on it the day before. Freshly laundered and ironed bed linen for each guest is recommended. Towel seemed fresh.
Check-out no issues. Can keep bags even after check out time in the house.
