Gerhard was a perfect host. He stayed in touch regularly to make sure everything was going well and to help with public transportation. The apartment was exactly as advertised. It was comfortable and clean.

The neighborhood is laid back and unassuming. I felt safe the entire time, even walking home late at night. There is a good cafe and a good bakery nearby and two good groceries stores up the street. A major train station is in walking distance to the south. There is a bus stop at the corner. All in all, it was a very good experience.
