Eriks place is located about a 20minute walk from the middle of old town. There is a park nearby as well as many local supermarkets.
On the whole I would recommend staying at Eriks' place. The room and appartment are both very big. The bedroom is massive. The space flat is very secure too. Although you should be aware that the space other than the bedroom is shared with 3 other rented out airbnb rooms, so dont expect it to be sparkling clean for the duration of your stay. The kitchen has tea/coffee making facilities and a microwave but not a lot more.
I checked in and out late and early so I didn't get to meet Eriks. I would stay here again though.
