Brian's place is nice one, arranged in a lovely manner. Brian is very hospitable, he was very helpful in some small things and willing to share information. He was also at home much of the time which made contact easy. In my room i had a fridge and with some trying I was able to make myself a sandwich, but be aware that, as described, there is no access to the kitchen. The automatic reservation is a big asset because you don't ned to worry if people answer your request.
