Aidan's a super host. Really friendly, fun to hang out and chat with. Really took care to make sure I was all set, and even gave me a ride into town next morning to train station. Made a lovely breakfast for me. Overall, a comfy place, and a great host (that's why it wasn't "better than I expected"--it was exactly as good as I expected based on all the great reviews). Just to be mindful that it's a bit of a gritty neighborhood and a 20 min walk into the center (or short bus ride). If you're looking for a stylish fancy tourist neighborhood, you might be disappointed. But this felt like a real, working person's neighborhood, and that was nice.
