We got a little lost trying to find John's place but we got there. He was away on business so his girlfriend met us near a bar by their flat which was very kind of her. She showed us around a little bit which was kind. John's place does have an incredible view out the balcony. We never could figure out how to get the door open to it but I'm sure they would've totally helped us had they been around. The room is super small, smaller than we imagined, but it was suitable to our needs. I think if you were traveling with a lot of luggage it would be a little tight. We only had 2 backpacks and a hand bag so it was just fine. The sofa bed was surprisingly comfortable. The shower was nice and the heated floors in the bathroom were also nice. His flat was impeccably clean.
Unfortunately there was one thing about staying here that made us very uncomfortable. We learned very early in the morning (like 6:15am) that the walls in his flat are paper thin. We had an uncomfortable experience and to spare you of the details we elected to cancel our reservation for the next night in case this was to happen again. It actually was so unpleasant and awkward for us that we tried to get ready as quick as possible, gathered our things, and then left and brushed our teeth/finished getting ready in a public restroom at the train station.
Also, if you're not an early riser this might not be the place for you because there is no curtain/blinds on the window. We didn't mind that but if you like it dark when you sleep this might be a downside.
