We picked Johns place because it is only a few minutes walk from the train station. He was nice enough to walk over to get us so we wouldn't get lost on the way to his place. He's very friendly and we had good conversation. His place is large, new and very clean. The room is a lot smaller than we expected but he lets you keep your things out on the enclosed balcony which helped. There are plenty of bars and restaurants in the area. The only issue we had was that is was very noisy outside and we were woken up several times during the night. Otherwise, it was a comfortable stay.
