We were arriving by bike and took longer than we thought and Jarin was there already to welcome us and kindly helped us with our bikes on the stairs. The large room was amazingly light and airy although in the basement of a beautiful old building. I had been concerned it would be dark and closed in but not at all. And although on a busy road it was very quiet. great location so we walked everywhere. We also very much appreciated the various complimentary drinks in the fridge and loads of maps and information Jarin offered us. Laundry service around the corner was cheap and efficient . There was another guest sharing the bathroom but we rarely saw or heard him. Very well thought out apartment with extra toilet and kitchenette to share. A great place to stay in this wonderful city.
