Ellen's place is relatively close to the city centre, well connected through public transport and cycling lanes. The surrounding area is green and beautiful, with nice lakes and places to take leisurely walks. I stayed there for a month, Ellen and her son were quite accommodating and sought to help me whenever I needed something. I even borrowed their bicycle and iron a couple of times. There was a bit too much dog hair around and some dust. Dog hair is hard to tackle as their dog is just like that. The bedroom is a bit dark, but has the basic items for a short stay. Communication with Ellen was mediated by a phone's translator, as we don't speak each other's languages. It turned out tricky to be hosted there for a month, so perhaps this place works best for shorter, occasional stays.
