Karin's apartment was a beautiful space, tastefully decorated and located centrally.
I didn't meet Karin (apart from in passing whilst she greeted new guests) but during our brief chat she was very friendly and hospitable.
We collected our keys from the basement where there was a shop and it was all really straight forward and easy to locate from Karin's directions.
I love Georgian buildings so staying here was a real treat, the high ceilings and sash windows are exceptional!
The apartment was the perfect size for two people and had everything you could need for a short stay.
The kitchen was very clean and modern and Karin kindly provided a few essentials to get us going such as eggs, fruit and orange juice.
The area itself - not the most 'fashionable' but felt safe and was only a short walk to the 'main area' (I forget the street names) which was perfect for us as we chose to walk as much as possible.
The apartment was very clean, warm, has a beautiful fireplace (which we didn't use), lovely antique furniture and a modern kitchen.
My only slight gripe was the noise upstairs on one evening, I understand the building is old, has thin ceilings, walls etc but upstairs the people were walking about an awful lot (sounded like stamping) and the floor boards creaked continuously, it carried on until after 2am which was upsetting as we couldn't sleep. The next night though it was more of a 'normal' amount of noise you would expect so didn't bother me in the slightest (I've been used to living in flats and old houses).
I would highly recommend Karin as a host and the 'very special oval apartment' is definitely worth you staying in. Enjoy! (and thank you).
