The location is awesome - walking distance to everything in the city center. The river view from the balcony can’t be beat! Perfect spot to catch the sunset. There are also many friendly elderly neighbors in the area.
No problem communicating with the host. Quick responses!
Some useful info for future guests:
1. Parking is free on the streets around the house. We were lucky to find a spot. It’s really packed most of the time.
2. Overall, the house is older than what you see in the pictures. There’s peeling paint/ black spots in some areas on the floor and walls.
3. The house has one huge bedroom with a double bed and great views of the river. But the seagulls are very noisy in the early mornings and late nights in this room. Bring earplugs!
4. The other 2 bedrooms are much smaller, about half the size of the first bedroom.
5. The second bedroom doesn’t really have a double bed. It has a single bed with another single pull out mattress.
6. The third bedroom with the single bed is not shown in the pictures. It is a little sad - it’s on the lower floor, small, windowless and has peeling paint and black spots (mould?) in one corner. The ceiling light is not working but it has a floor lamp.
7. Guests are advised to take short showers since the water is heated by electrical cylinder. The water takes 30min-1h to heat up if hot water runs out. It was ok for us in the summer. Not sure how it will be when it’s colder.
8. There’s no AC or fans so it is a little hot in the summer afternoons and evenings. It was cooling at night if you keep the windows open.
9. Wifi is quite weak in the lower floor.
Overall a decent place for 3-4 guests. Wouldn’t recommend for 5 people since the third room is not in the best condition.
