Host was overseas and emailed a contact phone number for a friend. When I arrived at the flat and tried to call, the number had been disconnected. Also, all I had was a street number and no flat number, so could not press the bell for the correct apartment. Luckily I went to a cafe where I managed to connect to the internet and where I received an email with the correct number for her flatmate. Not a great way to arrive in a new city. The flatmate who opened the door was friendly and showed me the internet password.
The apartment is ok but no effort had been made to welcome me - no note to tell me where a towel was or that toilet paper would be outside toilet as toilet room is also the shower. Lounge was full of washing. The bed was comfortable and clean although the sheets were too small for the single bed. There was scaffolding on the exterior of the apartment block. In the morning the hammers and drills started, not good for a night owl like me. The curtains are basically see-through, meaning that the sun shines in when it rises. No chance to sleep in :-).
