Monica is just lovely and did all she could to make me feel at home. She found me an iron, a hairdrier and a kettle as I'd managed to arrive without any of these things! The room was comfortable and the bathroom very handy as it was next door to my room on the top floor.
The city centre is one bus ride away (about 10 mins) but not really walk-able. I didn't explore the neighbourhood so can't comment on that.
I'd love to see Monica again one day - she was smashing...
