Alber was friendly and very hospitable - giving us a great recommendation for lunch, offering us bread for breakfast, and perfect directions from SMN station. He does not live there. The house is centrally located right above the street market, and in walking distance to all the major landmarks. Security is good too. We used the kitchen to make breakfast and tea.
Few things to be wary of:
- the name on the front door is not Alber's (ask him what it is before you travel to avoid confusion)
- the house is VERY cluttered, though everything is dust-free
- part of the room was converted from a bathroom, but the sink and shower (both functional) are still in the small room!!
- bathroom is right outside your room but is shared, even though we were told it was only for our use.
- shower: water doesnt drain immediately and collects near your feet which can be quite putting off. Also hot water doesn't run continuously.
- the flat is shared, there are four rooms that are rented.
- the wifi connection doesn't reach your room. You need to be in the common area to use it
- washing costs €5 and takes about 2 hours
