We never actually met Ilja, as he was on his travels, but he replied to our messages very fast and made sure that everything was in order with our arrival, and that his roommate, Una, welcomes us in the house. She was very welcoming and helpful, and gave us some great tips on what to do during our stay.
The description is accurate, Ilja's room is not big but it is very compact, nice, and comfortable to stay in. It is a students' flat so we felt really pleasant, and relaxed there.
The location is great, close to shops and pretty lively.
