Ivo is the kind of host whose place you book because it looks nice, and is in a great location-- but who, after the stay, you hope will stay in touch. The apartment itself is modern, airy, and impeccably clean. The location, a short walk to the main train station and the old town, is ideal for travelers. A private bathroom (with the choice of piped in music), and a private room (Ivo's is upstairs) makes for a comfortable few nights.

And then there's Ivo: friendly, helpful, and easy to get along with. When we had time, it was great to sit down and chat. And when we both had things to do, it was easy for us each to do our own thing in relative privacy.

All in all it was a great experience for this veteran traveler.
