The place is located in a central business district--so very close to shops, restaurants, supermarkets, and a Laundromat.
The host was very helpful.
Can't comment on the proximity to tourist attractions in the city, as I wasn't doing those this trip. But it is a great base to explore the surrounding areas and medieval towns.
FYI: the host does rent out other rooms in the same place, which is great if you are traveling with a group. But if you are alone you may be sharing with other travelers.
