Our host was very kind and accommodating about our arrival. The apartment is indeed very convenient to the train station and to the university as well. It's about a 15 minute walk to the old city center, but the walk along the river is very pretty. Note that the apartment is part of a house - you won't be sealed off from the life of the family upstairs. The space shares an entry and you have to go into the shared hallway to get to the otherwise private kitchen. But the bathroom is fantastic and the use of the garden was a treat.
