The place was really cozy and the lighting was warm and inviting. The bed was very comfortable and was dressed with good quality cotton linen. You do have to like a softer mattress- which I do. The tea kettle was too dirty to use, but Ken quickly and graciously resolved that issue. The rest of the apartment felt very clean and smelled fresh. There are lots of adaptors and outlets, as well as an iron, a good hair dryer (better than most hotels), an umbrella, a clothing rack with hangers, lots of books and DVD’s but no TV to watch them. I knew that going in- so that was not a disappointment. I think a TV would be nice to watch just to unwind or watch the local news, but that would not discourage me from staying in the future. The house above is a bit noisy. They are not rude or inconsiderate with their noise level but you definitely can hear everything when they are on the floor directly above you. Makes you realize that they can probably hear everything that goes on inside the basement apartment. There is also an odd door that connects the basement to the house that appears to have mirrored glass, instead of being a solid door. I didn’t check, but it made me wonder if they could actually see inside to parts of the room. The area around is definitely hilly and quite a hike to either train or bus station and would not be good if someone had mobility issues. The area seems fairly safe although the streets are dark in the evening and I would not suggest it for a single female. There is a lovely park the next block over with a great area for children to play and for adults to play tennis and a market on Saturdays. We visited a local pub- The White Hart and a Hungarian Restaurant called The Rosemary. They were both delicious and the pub had live music when we visited on a Wednesday night. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The place is a bit out of a trek to get in and out of the city, but the price made it well worth it. Thank you Ken!
