Everything as expected. Pal was awesomely quick to respond and very flexible with my check-in time - I could come a lot earlier. The only thing was that the apartment was pretty cooled down (since I came in the deepest winter) and I was having difficulties to get it warm. But then I wrote Pal (unfortunately after one day had already passed - that was my mistake) and he was very quick to respond that I should use the fire place. And that worked! Over all, I recommend to stay at Pal's place!
