Janis made us feel very welcome by sending us instructions a few days in advance - this told us how to enter the apartment and how to find it. He accidently double-booked us for our first night but payed for a hotel (Radisson Blu - 2 nights!) that was only moments away, which was taken care of before we arrived and went smoothly.

I thought the shops were a little far away (30m approx.), but the neighborhood was beautiful and on the way you'll walk by the lake/river, which looks wonderfully orange in Autumn.

It is of course on the opposite side of the river, but it takes only 20m to walk over the bridge and into the Old Town. On your side of the river, however, is a cute little cat café only 10m away. We visited 3 times. Building is fantastic, very safe and secure, and a cleaner comes every Thursday. We really couldn't have asked for a better host.

Oh, and the kitchen and bathroom was also well equipped!
