First and foremost, Ben is an absolute sweetheart. Among other nice things, he let me borrow his big backpack for a side trip to Poland (I'd brought my big suitcase and my small daypack but forgot to bring anything suitable for a 4-day trip), got treats for me when he went out for groceries (he was reciprocating for me doing the same; I am not saying this to get you to expect that he will do the same - you give and you get in return), and generally tried to keep sufficiently different hours from me to make me feel more of a sense of privacy than a share space would seem to allow. The room was beautiful, high HIGH ceiling, effective blinds, a nice little terrace that didn't see much use because it rained so much during my month there, a very comfortable bed... you have space in the fridge, ample local grocery options, a washing machine, and a space that is in general congenial and quiet. Some minor issues (depending on what you're expecting and what you can tolerate): it's a shared space, you have your own room but the bathroom is shared as is the kitchen of course. The location is interesting and historically fascinating but it's also a fair distance from stereotypical tourist attraction; these are far from inaccessible but anticipate taking trams a lot. There are plenty of places to eat nearby but far, far more choice further south. All that said, I'd stay here again, absolutely.
