Just returned from a comfortable stay at Alex and Kate’s place.
Pros: reasonable price, central location, comfy beds, excellent communication, easy transfers organised by host, powerful shower and generally a clean, comfortable base for exploring the city
Cons: the noise from the family in flat below and trams outside, photos make the flat appear slightly larger/more attractive than in reality, some of the amenities did not work (TV, toaster and broken spring in sofa)
