My roommate and I stayed at Merete's place for one night. It was a bit last minute (I believe we requested to book only 1-2 days in advance). She met us at the train station and walked us back to her place. She also gave us a great map of the city too and helped us figure out how to get around. The view was perfect and her place was really clean and organized, and the bed was unbelievably comfortable. Our only complaint is that we weren't able to check in until 6pm, so we had to spend a lot of time finding a locker and all that, just to spend the night briefly and leave in the morning before the next guest. I would definitely recommend this place over a hotel though, without a doubt.
