Tom made sure the keys were available at a bar around the corner. Pillow cases and bedspread were next to the bed. Tom also contacted me frequently to make sure everything was fine because he was not able to welcome me personally. We were even allowed to use his own bicylces, really kind.
For those seeking a bit more privacy, this apartment is a room within a student apartment. So it might feel a bit more as an hostel (not something negative per se).
The room is situated in a fine neighbourhood.
