Staying at Tom and Kat’s place was a wonderful experience. What an amazing value, I hardly know where to begin. Perhaps the best place to start is with the hosts: Tom and Kat are super friendly and have traveled all over the world, so we really connected and quickly became good friends. They gave us good advice on seeing the city and even shared some of their fresh baked bread with us right when it came out of the oven. Yum! :) We loved that the apartment was only about 6 blocks from the train station in the heart of a multicultural community, so we walked everywhere and ate a lot of really good food within 2 blocks of the apartment.
The room is small, but that is common in any European city and the fact that the whole apartment is decorated impeccably makes it feel much bigger. We loved the little balcony they have overlooking the garden courtyard. Their cat is very friendly and was good with our baby, but stayed out of the guest bedroom. The WiFi was lightning fast! The check in/check out process was easy, and they let us leave our luggage for a few extra hours during the day. They have a little store in the bedroom in case you forget anything (like eye covers if you come in the summer).
The fruit vendors on the street in the neighborhood have amazing fruit at ridiculously low prices, so between that and buying a bunch of fresh bread and cheese, we ended up eating well for not a lot of money.
We would recommend this AirBNB to anyone who wants a good value close to the train station with a live in host.
