Eric is friendly, responsive and helpful. He replied to my messages very promptly, checked me in two hours earlier than usual, and offered to lend me his bike. All these great qualities of the host make it especially unfortunate that I had to cancel my reservation one day into my stay and look for another hotel. The big issue with the apartment is that the common area, the kitchen and the bathroom are very cold in the winter. Eric went out of his way to help with this issue by providing an electric heater for my bedroom (which made it warm enough) and another for the kitchen. But it was still too cold for me. I would recommend Eric’s apartment if you travel during spring or autumn and look for a cheap place.
