Steffen is a helpful host, and opened his apartment kitchen and bathroom to us. The apartment is modern and an attractive space. The bedroom is a little small, but perfectly fine for a short stay. We were only there for one night, and are grateful to Steffen for accommodating us at short notice. The neighborhood is in an area with an ethnic feel to it...we enjoyed eating at a Punjabi Tandoori house, and exploring the lively stores including "the bazaar" which has all kinds of spices and exotic vegetables. The street outside can be a bit noisy with revelers and pool hall shouts (but we were there on a Sat night with a bright moon). Seagulls swoop over the street in the early morning. Overall, we had a good stay, and the apartment is very conveniently located behind the railway and bus stations.
