I was met at the door and shown through Mathiaes' beautiful little apartment. The place was perfectly clean and had everything that I needed. Being in the centre of town and virtually above the Irish pub, I already knew that the nights might be noisy. My host supplied ear plugs - how thoughtful (I didn't use them 'cos I went to bed so late).
I could relax at Mathiaes' place: clean, tidy, beautiful - but not too precious.
