We chose Stef's place because we were meeting visiting family and they were staying just around the corner. Although the location is a bit out from city centre, there were still plenty of restaurants, pubs, cafés and shops nearby and the area has a trendy feel. We bought a 48 hour tram ticket for €12.50 each which was ideal for traveling into city centre and back. The flat itself was ideal, and as a couple we were not put off by the not-so-private toilet and shower facilities, nor the fact that it was up a few flights of stairs. The patio area was an unexpected and pleasant surprise, especially as we visited during a mini heat wave. My husband and I had slightly different experiences when it came to sleep quality; my husband was woken by the birds and traffic early in the morning, but I was not affected at all - in fact, I slept incredibly well. Perhaps something to bear in mind if you are easily woken by such things. The only slight criticism we had is that the shower drained very slowly and we shut the water off mid-way through to avoid overflowing the tray. We have been told that the shower will soon be moved, so hopefully this problem will be rectified.
Unfortunately, we didn't actually meet Stef, but his wife Angela was lovely and made us feel very welcome. All all, a very good first time Air BnB experience.
