I had no contact with Niels so I can not talk about it . I had contact with Luis , his friend, who was always very attentive and kind to me . He can not receice me on arrival but asked a friend who showed me the apartment. The apartment is well located, large , bright and has a very well equipped kitchen with almost everything you need to make food if you want (as was my case) . Next to the apartment you can find supermarkets (Coop and Migros ) , bars, cafes and restaurants. The bar on the first floor was working and did not bother me anytime. I was with my mom (old) and a baby and we had no problems at all. Although I knew, the absence of the elevator was felt. The floor of the apartment is made by an old wood that makes a lot of noise when walking. This was not uncomfortable for me but for others it may be. Finally, I recommend to stay for the location and the nice apartment that is.
