The location is just outside of a park with tons of restaurants and bars close enough to walk to but not so close that you hear them all night! It's a 5 minute walk to Time Out- a wonderful collection of restaurants and a fresh food market. I highly recommend it! It's also a 10 minute walk from the train station.
As for the host, he was great and he assisted us with luggage when our flight was much later than checkout. The apartment was gorgeously decorated. The only reason for 4/5 was that you need to know how to work a dehumidifier and like a firm mattress. But let me tell you, once the dehumidifier is running and the fan is on- the place feels practically air conditioned!
