I cannot stress this enough – Georg is the perfect host. The apartment itself was exactly as described and in a fantastic location. It was clean, warm, welcoming and above all comfortable. Georg is lively, friendly and very easy to get along with. I feel so lucky to have spent time in his neighbourhood and to have shared a delicious meal cooked by his talented girlfriend.

There are bike rental facilities around the city, but Georg has his own which he will allow you to rent for a small fee. It's a necessity for blending in with the locals and personally I found it a very convenient and economical way of getting around. Almost nothing is more than 15 minutes away by bike.

The 'shower' is a unique experience, but definitely not a deal breaker. The kitchen is well-equipped and Georg cleared shelves for me in the fridge and the pantry so I didn't have to worry about squeezing my stuff in.

Don't hesitate to contact Georg, you won't regret a thing. :-)
