The host insisted on retrieving me at the train station which was terribly gracious, oriented me wonderfully re the neighborhood and recommended eating spots and even coordinated my taxi ride to the airport on my departure! So I was completely taken care of. As for the apartment, it was clean, and furnished with all the amenities including personal toiletries. Even though the apartment is in a quiet area, there are lots of good pubs and restaurants within walking distance so it was a nice change from going into the main center some 15 mins walk away. I loved this apartment and would stay here again.
