Ronald was an exemplary host. Apart from picking me up and leaving me back to the airport he kept in touch by email throughout my 4-week stay to ensure that everything was ok. The apartment was perfect for me (being on my own) - every facility that might reasonably be expected was there, the bed was particularly comfortable (better than many hotels I've stayed in), and the location was great in terms of convenience to shops, buses, etc. One tip (especially if you are planning to eat in a lot), the two best supermarkets for a big shop and value for money, are PISCOPO's and TROLEES (about 10-12 minute walk). The main cinema in the area is also only 8 minutes walk away (THE EMPIRE). Altogether highly recommended - especially for the kind attention of Ronald. If you are used to hotel fare and want to try being a little more adventurous by doing it on your own - this would be a good place to start.
Thanks again for everything, Ronald. Hope to see you next year.
