The host (Simon) gave us a list of a lot of different places, where we could eat and was really fast when communication over text messages. Simon was on holiday, but his cousin lived at the apartment, though he never really was home. The cousin was really fast with texting us if we needed anything, and when he was home the same time as us we had a great talk.
Overall, the stay was much better than expected, and we loved walking around the city. His cousin also helped us reserve a taxi because we had to get to the airport in the middle of the night.
